At the climax of the film, [Dani] discovers that the bear casting a shadow across her life is the product of her own troubles psyche.”
“The New Mutants begins with Dani dreaming of a night a mysterious force - later revealed as the demon bear - attacked her home on a Cheyenne Nation reservation during a snowstorm......with the camera chasing the girl and her father through their mobile home as a hidden enemy pummels it from outside......Dani and her father flee as fires burn and cars fly through the air.....smoky tendrils curling in the sky, hinting at the presence of the demon bear but not revealing its identity.”
“Dani wakes from her nightmare to find herself inside a secure hospital facility run by Dr. Cecilia Reyes. It is here that she first meets her fellow mutant inmates.”
“...fleshed out a scene in which Rahne follows Dani up onto a clock tower ledge.”
“Inside the hospital, Dr. Reyes keeps watch on her mutant captives from a central control room, where dozens of old-school cathode ray tube monitors display CCTV feeds from across the entire campus.”
The cameras have the ability to monitor each mutants health including organs/vital signs and they have overlays showing their body systems etc.
“Alone in a washroom, Dani is terrified when clusters of screaming faces bulge out of the walls around her.” (Seen in trailers)
There is a scene where Rahne gets branded with the letter W on her neck - article describes how they did the effect on the brand using practical built in LED’s.
“During one unsettling sequence, the young mutants are chased through the hospitals eerie corridors by horrific Smiley Men drawn from Ilyana’s tortured past, these 7 foot tall creatures have dangling limbs and hideously grinning faces.....There were things we didn’t want to directly speak about, like sex trafficking, so we found a way to personify them the way a child might remember.”
“The horror begins when Illyana‘s friends go in search of her, only to find themselves sucked into the dream she’s having about her traumatic childhood. The ominous mood is set when the paint on a door begins to crack and peel. As the decay spreads the flakes of paint curl up and melt away.”
“....Created a digital replica of the staircase where the young mutants eventually defeat the Smiley Men...Illyana transforms into her alter ego, Magik, and slices her plasma sword through both the enemy and the staircase.”
“Only in the films final act to the five young mutants realize the potential of their powers in a high-stakes battle against not only their captor, Dr. Reyes, but also the giant demon bear who’s supernatural presence has been growing throughout the film.”
“Just before the bear makes his dramatic entrance Reyes reveals her own mutant power: the ability to create a smothering force field which she throws around Dani and her companions.”
“Reyes is distracted from smothering the mutants by a snow storm building outside. As the storm closes in, the demon bear bursts through a wall and swallows her whole.”
“Rahne fights the bear in the form of her lycanthropic counterpart, Wolfsbane. Maisie Williams wore nail and teeth extensions....”
Her full on “Wolf” form is portrayed by the same real wolf/dog used in the movie “Alpha” from 2018.
“Method Studios also brought to life the animated character Lockheed, a little pet dragon who spends much of his time perched on Illyana’s shoulder.”
“...Cannonball, who can encase himself in a force field and fly at supersonic speed.”
“The action escalates inside the hospitals chapel where Rahne has the high ground of a balcony, the demon bear rears up and starts tearing the balcony down.”
“The energy released during the final confrontation rips the hospital buildings apart.”
