00:00You're not alone. Not anymore. Do you know what mutants are?
00:06Marvel's The New Mutants has finally been given a new release date after it was taken off the spring 2020 calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic.
00:13Disney announced on Wednesday that the horror-tinged X-Men spinoff will hit theaters on August 28, 2020.
00:19Disney inherited the film when acquiring 20th Century Fox.
00:21Would anyone like to share their first time?
00:24Rain?
00:26I was 13. I thought it was a dream.
00:30I just lost control.
00:31New Mutants has had a long, winding road to release, prompting intense speculation that the movie would bypass theaters and go directly to streaming.
00:38The Hollywood Reporter noted last week that wasn't the case.
00:41The X-Men spinoff from director Josh Boone centers on a group of young mutants trapped in a secret facility.
00:46Its cast includes Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Charlie Heaton.
00:50I don't think we're here to get better.
00:52New Mutants was filmed back in 2017 and originally set to open on April 13, 2018,
01:00before being pushed back 10 months to February 22, 2019, and later moved to August 2, 2019,
01:07with insiders suggesting reshoots would happen to tweak the film.
01:10Reshoots never happened, and the film remains largely what test audiences saw back in 2017,
01:15but with finished visual effects.
