To be fair the movie could come out and [spoil] still not spend money to see it [/spoil]

[QUOTE=pandafarmer;4512937]And honestly I think the only reason they are keeping NM on the slate is because there is a built in audience for it. I can't blame them for playing a bit of "what do we do with this" on this film because it absolutely doesn't fit into the MCU one bit. It's possible they are trying to figure out how they can adapt it as such, but then they would have announced it as part of the Phase 4 releases at SDCC.[/QUOTE]
What built in audience? I hoep you arent talking about comic readers bc we are a mere insignificant fraction of the audience that is needed to go to the theaters and make this break even

[QUOTE=pandafarmer;4514334]I've worked in theater where there is absolutely some bleed over within the film community. I see both sides here. Yes, they could have been more aggressive on the search but it's absolutely possible that the agencies contacted didn't have someone that fit the age/sex/build/skill needed for the role. It's also possible that they did find some actors that fit the bill but they had other projects that couldn't wait or they just didn't want the role. It's possible they could only work with certain agencies due to contracts and Henry was the best fit without bringing in a Brazilian actor who spoke poor English.
So then they have to break it down to other options... a female Roberta? Younger Sunspot? An less suave looking Roberto? A non-Brazilian (Anja's not Russian after all)? A lighter skinned Brazilian? Personally I'm happy with the last option if they did indeed have issues like I described above to best match the personality of the character.
However it's also possible they just scooped him up because he was fresh off "13 Reason's Why" and wanted to add some more recognizable faces to the cast... in which case I feel the complaints are valid.[/QUOTE]
I've watched 13 Reasons Why and I don't even remember the sunspot actor in it. I looked him up and he was the Tony character's boyfriend in a few episodes. He was a minor character at best and far from memorable. My guess is he was cast because his cheap, speaks English, is Brazilian and is handsome. Given the relatively low budget of New Mutants I doubt the casting search for roles was that extensive.

is there a final official release date and platform?
-
When they announced there would be a New Mutants movie, I was thrilled because it was my favorite comic growing up. When they said it was going to be a horror movie, I was less enthused because it just sounded like a stupidly needless twist away from the actual story.
With all the delays, I'm no longer expecting to ever see it come out in theaters or at this point even on a streaming service or whatever.

I don’t care anymore if this movie is released or not, but I was interested in heroin chic Cannonball.

I have pretty much been over the movie since the casting of Sunspot and CeCe.. For those who really want to see it.. I hope you can see it on the streaming service. But I cant see myself watching this movie if it comes out.

it was going to be a horror, then executives did a super hero adventure. Then the horror trailer was well received on internet and the executives wanted it to transform into a horror movie again.
A big mess
-
I honestly gave up on this movie. The wait and all the problems have killed any hype I had for it
it is a shame because I really wanted to see this team on the bigg screen, they deserve more recognition but after this I doubt Disney will want anything to do with these characters.

I was fed up when they cast the always wooden (and white-ish) Alice Braga as Cecilia fucking Reyes, and I've never found Charlie Heaton terribly inspiring on Stranger Things. but I flat out did not know who the dude playing Bobby was supposed to be at first.

What? Wait. Alice Braga is CECILIA REYES?
How in the hell is it 2019 and this is still happening?
