20th Century Fox first announced that they were in the early stages of development on a New Mutants film back at CinemaCon in 2012 and then enlisted Josh Boone to write & direct the X-Men spin-off in spring 2015. After all those years of fine tuning, it looks the studio is finally only a few weeks away from kicking off production and a new shooting location may have just been revealed.
Over the past few months, Boone has been providing periodic updates on his film and yesterday, posted an intriguing photo while he was scouting locations. He doesn't tag a location in the photo, but the day prior, he revealed that he was spending some time in Boston, MA for what he described, at the time, as "no reason."
It's long been expected that New Mutants would film in Montreal, Canada, just like the previous two X-Men films, but now it looks like it may either split time between Boston & Canada or just film in Boston entirely. This small update might also suggest that, despite previous denials, it is actually the untitled X-Men 7 (a.k.a. X-Men: Supernova), that will film in our neighbor to the north this summer after all.
20th Century Fox will hold their CinemaCon presentation today at 10:00 A.M. PST (1:00 P.M. EST), so be on the lookout for any potential updates regarding the New Mutants and future of their blockbuster X-Men film series.
