The past two days have seen two out-of-nowhere reports about Fox's in-development NEW MUTANTS movie. One was legit news from producer Simon Kinberg and the other is considered an unconfirmed rumor report about the film's mutant roster and possible casting choices. (See these post links below.)
Nerdist got in contact with Fox reps who say the mutant roster and actors choices are "not true."
Of course Fox will issue this type of statement regardless of if the rumor report is true or not because studios want to reveal big announcement like this themselves, or through a news outlet. However, since Kinberg talked about NEW MUTANTS two days ago, that's a pretty clear sign that something is brewing for this movie behind closed doors.
Sadly, this is not an April Fools' Day joke from Fox but that doesn't mean NEW MUTANTS is close to getting a green light for full production as well as a release date set sooner than later.
