20th Century Studios and Walt Disney Studios have released a brand new theatrical poster for Josh Boone's upcoming X-Men spinoff,
The New Mutants, offering a fresh look at the young team of heroes as they gear up for a comic book adventure unlike any we've seen before.
With the film primarily taking place at a mostly abandoned psychiatric facility for mutants, the cast will reportedly only feature Anya Taylor-Joy (
Glass), Maisie Williams (
Game of Thrones), Charlie Heaton (
Stranger Things), Henry Zaga (
The Stand) and Blu Hunt (
The Originals) in the lead mutant roles with Alice Braga (
I Am Legend) also playing a key supporting part.
The Demon Bear will serve as the film's primary antagonist, but it's also been
rumored since March 2018 that the film would feature a secondary villain that would appear in the post-credits stinger. Academy Award-nominee Antonio Banderas (
Dolor y gloria) and 2x Golden Globe-winner Jon Hamm (
Top Gun: Maverick) have both been linked to this mystery villain role, with the latter reportedly having already shot something during principal photography as Mister Sinister.
However, considering Banderas was supposed to replace Hamm during reshoots (which never happened), it remains to be seen whether he, or Hamm, will still be a part of the film.
20th Century Fox in association with Marvel Entertainment presents “The New Mutants,” an original horror thriller set in an isolated hospital where a group of young mutants is being held for psychiatric monitoring. When strange occurrences begin to take place, both their new mutant abilities and their friendships will be tested as they battle to try and make it out alive.

Anya Taylor-Joy as Illyana Rasputin/Magik
