New Mutants- September 2nd
New Mutants in an interesting turn for the X-Men franchise. While it does take place in the X-Men universe, it stars none of the major X-Men characters or cast. Instead, this film is a claustrophobic, horror film following young mutants trapped inside a laboratory. The laboratory holds dark secrets and is filled with Doctor’s who may not have the best of intentions. New Mutants is directed by Josh Boone and stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie Williams.
Joker- October 4th
Joker is an upcoming film that follows the beginnings of Batman’s greatest villain: The Joker. The film has been described as being a crime/mob film that will focus on how the infamous villain came to be. It’s likely a loose adaptation of The Killing Joke; a classic, one shot graphic novel which depicted the transformation of a failed comedian into the mad man known as The Joker. Todd Phillips directs and Joaquin Phoenix stars in the anticipated upcoming film.
