Predicting The Rotten Tomatoes Scores For Every Upcoming Superhero Movie

17. X-Men: The New Mutants (85%)

The New Mutants Magik
Marvel

Release Date: April 13, 2018

Predicted Critical Consensus: "An intriguing new direction for the X-Men franchise, The New Mutants is both a compelling coming-of-age story and a highly entertaining superhero flick."

With the core X-Men franchise suffering through some creative stagnation as of late, what better time for a spin-off that focuses on a new band of young mutants?

With The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone helming, audiences can rest assured he'll get stellar performances out of his young cast, including Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie Williams.

What's more, Boone has promised that The New Mutants will essentially be a superhero horror movie, while stripping away the campy excess the comic book genre is typically associated with. If it's suitably character-driven and atmospheric, this could be something very special indeed.
