New Mutants Movie

He looks like Sam in the first & last pictures to me.

Interesting that you chose no images from his original NM presentation, and you didn't use the photo of him as he is actually presented in the movie....

Not crazy about the practically confirmed Nova Roma story; it's a ridiculous and unnecessary concept. Does anyone really care that much about Magma anyway? Also way to highlight your most problematic character. Am glad though that there's sequel talk; hopefully that means we'll get the trilogy even if it doesn't do great and regardless of the buyout. Even better if he meant they were already working on filming.

Eh, who knows, maybe Brazil is meant to be Vietnam and we'll get some Xian backstory, or it's a random setting for Magus stuff or some other thing.

I loved Magma. In fact, I think there was a crossover with the X-Men that had her, which is what inspired me to check out the book in the first place. I always felt bad how underused she was. That being said, the fact that they didn't know what to do with her is why I don't blame people for not liking her. But she's still an important part of New Mutant mythos.

Indeed the comic book images are deep into the period where Sam stopped looking like awkward country bumpkin Sam and transitioned into a more conventional "Leading Man" type. I'd place the beginning of that change around the team's conversion into X-Force.
There was an occasional reversion to "Real Sam" in the latter day New Mutants reunion projects but for the most part "Classic Cannonball" has been lost to us. :-(
If there is a glimmer of awkward acadiana in Charlie Heaton's portrayal, I can easily forgive Guthrie's look being "off"

Also, while at the panel, Boone mentioned them talking about filming the sequel in Brazil.

Nova Roma... A South America type horror movie

SELENE!!! Now I really hope this movie is a hit and the franchise continues regardless if Disney buys Fox or not. I need the Goddess on the big screen.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If the Fox-Men wanted Thanos-style greater scope villain that could tie their entire franchise together, Selene would be PERFECT. Apocalypse could be revealed to have been an unwitting pawn that she subtly manipulated from behind the scenes (perhaps she first encountered him when her powers were weak, and submitted to him as a servant with him none the wiser of her true nature). They could also reveal that Sinister — and thus Weapon X and Transigen — has been working for HER. And if they were to use her full Goddess-level powers from Necrosha, she would present a TREMENDOUSLY powerful threat that could require everyone together to defeat.

Seeing Selene would be awesome. Also, have to say that I care about Magma as well. She's always been underutilized imo, and would love to see her brought to the big screen. Her powerset could add some really cool visuals.

Look again, it's not a plush, it's a hand puppet!

That Lockheed hand puppet is the star of this movie.

Though I'd be over the moon if Selene were "just" the big bad in a South America/Nova Roma centric New Mutants sequel too.

Speaking of Amara, first look at Dark Phoenix movie Jean Grey gave me strong Magma vibes.

seline would have been a good start to the x necrosha stroryline. guess we can give it 3 years after xforce, new mutants 2 and if the main x universe is still surviving jump to the present but urgh. it will make no sense for the main xmen.

seline was a vary good villian.

The teaser shown in Brazil apparently has the New Mutants all hooked up to lie detectors. So things like Magik's saying she killed 18 men may not be truthful. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/x-men...iption-a156196

Blu looks perfectly Dani-ish (I mean I guess there are darker Natives but despite claims to the contrary I would not call her white-passing.)

Honestly my biggest visual issue with Dani is that she's short, and that's not really anything against the actress at all it's just that in comics Dani is always ridiculously tall in comparison to everyone else. The only person taller than her is Sam, and he's a literal pole of a human in the New Mutant comics. So seeing Dani be as short as Rahne, who is the small little baby of the group? Very strange. Just something to get used to.

It is strange.

I didn't pick these images. Found it on google.

The point is you can't expect a character to be drawn the same all the time.

You at least chose to attach that image on your post, so you did pick the images.

It's not even the facial features, height, or blonde hair I am so concerned with(though it'd be ideal to have them too). It's the idea of taking a respectable young man from a culture that is often look down upon(low income Appalachians), and instead presenting him more in alignment with the cliche narrative(violent and/or abused redneck). He looks like the meanest, sketchiest character on that group image, while Magik and "Berto" look like the warmest.

Just as long as Rahne gets the most screen time and dialogue, I'm totally fine with this.

given who they cast.... I'm pretty sure she's gonna be doing stuff.
