The New Mutants: 10 Major New Details Revealed About The Marvel Movie

Before the Disney/Fox merger became a reality, it was reported that The New Mutants would undergo extensive reshoots designed to change the movie's tone and add some new characters. It sounded an awful lot like what happened with Fantastic Four, but that business deal put those on hold and Disney clearly decided it wasn't worth spending millions of dollars on a standalone feature from a past regime.

After all, Marvel Studios is going to eventually reboot the X-Men for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and when ComicBook.com asked director Josh Boone about what the deal with those was, he confirmed that the movie (apparently) coming to the cinemas is the one he originally shot.

"Well, I mean, because of the merger, we didn't have the opportunity to do what really every movie does, which is do pick up shots or do reshoot a couple of things or shoot a couple of additional things," he explains. "So really I was able to finish the movie with just what we shot on set. So the movie hasn't changed that dramatically between before the merger and after the merger."

"Now, it has visual effects that are finished, which were sort of the big thing that was missing when the merger happened, that whole aspect of it shut down. So we only got to see kind of finished visual effects this year." It's rare for any blockbuster not to undergo reshoots, so this should be...interesting?
