“Everybody said we did reshoots! We’ve never done reshoots,” Boone told Entertainment Weekly. “And I’ll tell you this: if there hadn’t been a merger, I’m sure we would’ve done reshoots the same way every movie does pickups. We didn’t even do that because by the time the merger was done and everything was settled, everybody’s older.”
Ah, that pesky merger. Turns out, the release of New Mutants was delayed not because of problems, but because of Disney buying Fox, the company that made it. So, Boone says, for almost a year, no one from either studio got in touch with him about it. In that time, he went off and prepped The Stand as rumors were swirling about the movie he had not yet finished. “When [Disney] called me right before I went to go make The Stand and said, ‘Would you come finish the movie?’ I said, ‘I would f—in’ love to come finish the movie!’,” Boone said.
What he went back to was a film with unfinished visual effects, which is why the first trailer was underwhelming. Since then, many more effects have been added, such as the mystical abilities of Illyana (Anya Taylor-Joy) as well as her dragon companion Lockheed (famous friend to Kitty Pryde). If anything, while The New Mutants didn’t do any reshoots, Boone does think the year or so he didn’t work on the movie could have only helped it.
“In the editing, we were probably 75 percent done,” Boone said. “We came back and finished it up. It took a couple months, and it was nice to be able to come back. Knate [Lee], my co-writer, and I, we hadn’t seen it in a year. We did a bunch of things here and there that we hadn’t thought about or noticed a year before.”
And the results will finally, for real, be in theaters on April 3.

EW has the exclusive confirmation from Josh Boone himself that his New Mutants movie will feature a subplot about a same-sex relationship between Rahne Sinclair / Wolfsbane (Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams) and Danielle Moonstar (The Originals star Blu Hunt).
As Boone describes it, that relationship between Wolfsbane and Moonstar is "a beautiful love story... sort of the spin and focus of some of the character-driven stuff in the film."
Maisie Williams elaborates on New Mutants' LGBTQ relationship, saying that the same-sex bond between Moonstar and Rahne wasn't just an invention for a modern movie, but is rather, "a real extension of what is touched on in the comics. As Williams explains:
"Rahne and Dani have a telepathic connection in the comics, and so we just wanted to extend that in the film and put that within reality. If they really could understand each other on that level, then you’d probably end up falling in love with that person.".
