X-Men: The New Mutants - 10 Big Reasons To Be Excited
1. Another Layer Of Depth To Fox's X-Men Universe
One of the most impressive things about Fox's X-Men series is the impeccable amount of range they have shown with recent projects.
They still have the standard superhero action genre down in the main X-Men films, but over the last couple of years they've also given us a violent comedy in the form of Deadpool, as well as a brutal western in the form of Logan. And that's just on the film side of things. On TV, they've also put out Legion, a visually trippy psychological thriller, and The Gifted, a charming teen drama.
The one thing this series does better than arguably any other superhero cinematic universe out there is the various different styles of stories they manage to effectively tell. They are no longer confined to the action-adventure genre, and that has opened the door to some serious creativity.
So, all that said, it isn't a stretch to say that they can add a good horror film to their lineup and do so in an fantastic way. And not only will The New Mutants add yet another layer to Fox's already diverse X-men series, but it could also lay the groundwork for the series to branch out even further.
There is a lot to the X-Men lore and it's nice to see Fox both embrace that and use it to its fullest.
