In recent months, the status of The New Mutants has been under a great deal of scrutiny. It was originally meant to release in 2018, but Fox ordered reshoots to make The New Mutants scarier. However, despite the release date being delayed twice, the reshoots haven't actually been filmed yet. As a result, even the stars of New Mutants don't know what's going on with the movie. It was expected Disney would make a decision about the film's fate. As of now, it appears Disney is planning to theatrically release New Mutants this year.

However, while this is Disney's current slate, it could potentially change in the coming months. The New Mutants isn't the only movie on this slate that seems unlikely to make its release date. The sci-fi film Ad Astra is supposed to debut in May but marketing has yet to begin, causing some to wonder whether it will actually release next month. So, although Disney's 2019 slate looks promising with a mixture of high profile and smaller releases, it remains to be seen if everything goes according to plan.
