WARLOCK: Not a Mutant but rather a young “techno-organic” alien of the warlike Technarchy species, who turned against his own kind and allied himself with The New Mutants while on Earth. Long considered one of the X-Men franchise characters least likely to appear in live-action, owing to his bizarre physical appearance as an amorphous mass of black machinery criss-crossed with neon circuitry that can morph at will into any shape, it should be intriguing to see how the film plans to realize him.
MAGIK: a.k.a. Colossus’ younger sister Ilya Rasputin. Interestingly, originally Ilya was not specifically a mutant but rather a “normal” human supporting character in the X-books who was kidnapped from Earth into the supernatural realm of Limbo — only to return having aged from a six year-old into her teens and having become a powerful magic-user. Subsequent stories retconned said “magic” abilities (including teleporation and use of a “soulsword” weapon) into latent mutant powers that had been unlocked while trapped in Limbo.
SUNSPOT: a.k.a. Roberto DeCosta. A biracial Brazilian teenage soccer prodigy with the ability to transform his body into pure solar energy, allowing him to fly and throw blasts of concussive energy. A version of the character already appeared in the alternate-future sequences of X-Men: Days of Future Past, though it’s unclear whether the role will be recast for this version.
CANNONBALL: a.k.a. Sam Guthrie, who can fly at jet-speed while encased in a protective forcefield. Originally written as the obligatory audience-identification “sci-fi fanboy” character among the first New Mutants team. He has also been an X-Men member and an Avenger as an adult.
MIRAGE: a.k.a. “Pysche,” a.k.a. Danielle Moonstar, a Cheyenne Native American from Colorado. A telepath with the usual roster of “psionic” powers afforded to other Mutant psychics like Jean Grey, The White Queen and Psylocke (with preferential variations like “psionic arrows”), she’s had a few names and identities throughout her publication history — at one point leaving the New Mutants in order to become one of Asgard’s Valkyrie warrior women.
WOLFSBANE: a.k.a. Rahne Sinclair. Essentially a Scottish werewolf but through mutation rather than a supernatural curse (though she originally didn’t know that and suffered abuse at the hands of a fanatically religious orphanage proprietor over it), she can morph into a bipedal human/wolf hybrid with superhuman strength.
Josh Boone is directing the Fox movie from a script he co-wrote with Knate Lee.

Fox’s long-awaited X-Men spinoff New Mutants is finally casting up.
Anya Taylor-Joy, the star of The Witch and Split, and Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams have signed on to star in the ensemble young adult superhero movie being directed by Josh Boone.
The movie is headed towards an early July start with a script by Boone and his writing partner, Knate Lee. Simon Kinberg and Karen Rosenfelt are producing.
New Mutants, created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod, was the first X-Men comic spinoff, launched in the early 1980s as the franchise began two decades of dominating the comic book industry.
The pic will focus on the angst-driven adventures of a diverse group of teens that include Native American Danielle Moonstar, Scots girl Wolfsbane, Brazilian ladies man Sunspot, a Kentuckian code-named Cannonball and Russian teen Magik. Also in the mix will be an alien named Warlock.
Taylor-Joy will play Magik, a girl who has learned sorcery and uses teleportation discs to travel. She is also the sister of Colossus, an X-Man who appeared in Deadpool.
Williams will play Wolfsbane, a girl struggling to reconcile her religious beliefs with her power to turn into a wolf.
Boone has been eyeing the actresses since last year but was only able pull the trigger on them once the movie was greenlighted earlier this year. New Mutants has a release date of April 13, 2018.
Fox is making serious efforts to find ethnically appropriate actors, conducting wide searches for a Native American to play Moonstar and a South American for Sunspot.
Taylor-Joy broke out with the 2015 award-winning period horror movie The Witch and starred with James McAvoy in M. Night Shyamalan’s surprise hit Split. She is repped by CAA, Felker Toczek and Troika in the U.K.
Williams plays Arya Stark on HBO's Game of Thrones, which launches its seventh season in July. She is repped by WME, Jackoway Tyerman and the U.K.'s Louise Johnston Management.

漫威電影《變種人》(The New Mutants)命運多舛,實際上映日期已被網友視為「都市傳說」,從原本的2018年4月13日上映,經過多次撤檔、延期,如今終於迎來了最新的上映日,該片在台灣24日在SDCC的線上直播中宣布將在8月28日上映,但底下卻悄悄地打出「祈求好運(Finger Crossed)」的字眼,似乎是在暗示可能還會有變動。 https://star.ettoday.net/news/1768299
