New Movie – New Mutants?
Friend of Bleeding Cool, Brendon Connelly, has been flown out to the West Coast to talk Slashfilmy stuff. First up, he's been asking Lauren Shuler Donner X-questions, with word that as well as X-Men: First Class and Deadpool in the works, we are indeed looking at a fourth X-Men film, referred to as X4. And, with a couple of words that will raise a squee with the right people… New Mutants.
For those needing class notes, New Mutants was the very first X-Men spinoff title, crated by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, with a bunch of new young characters joining the school, such as Cannonball, Karma, Moonstar, Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Magik, Warlock, Cypher (who had the mutant ability of translation – not every power was warrior-worthy), telling edgier, gritty, interpersonal X-stories, eventually seeing the team go all military and turning into X-Force.
