The New Mutants Trailer Breakdown: 8 Things You Need To See

5. Sunspot In A Tumble Dryer

Undoubtedly one of the most famous mutants to make an appearance in the New Mutants was Sunspot, who'll be played by Henry Zaga in the upcoming film.

You can see Zaga at multiple different points during the trailer, but the best moment to feature him came when he was the subject of one the trailer's first scares, having fired himself up in one of the hospital's tumble dryers for whatever reason.

Contrary to what the trailer may suggest, Sunspot is very much a hero and one who'll likely have a large part to play in unraveling the mystery at the centre of the film. As for his move-set, Roberto Da Costa can flame-on much like the Fantastic Four's Human Torch can, with the main difference coming from the fact that he absorbs sunlight to expel energy, rather than being able to generate it on a whim.
