New Mutants
If some hearsay are to believe , the shareholder ballot on Disney larn Fox ’s asset will seeX - Men : Dark PhoenixandNew Mutantscanceled . However , that is n’t really the case , with recent conjecture being just that .
take by long - time X - Men producer Simon Kinberg , X - Men : Dark Phoenixis the next entry in the principal mutant series , blame up with the McAvoy / Fassbender prequel team in the nineties for a readaptation of the famedDark Phoenix Saga(previously attempted on the big concealment in 2006’sX - Men : The Last Stand ) . It was originally lay for a November 2018 release but in March of this yr waspushed back to February 2019 , reportedly due to reshoots delay by actor schedule . New Mutantsis a revulsion - tinged ten - Men spinoff address by Josh Boone that fall out a radical of powered youths in a preoccupied infirmary . Its release date has changed twice , first from April 2018 to February 2019 , then whenDark Phoenixmoved to August 2019 . Again , reshoots ( to adjust the tone and add in a new character ) were the cited ground .

It does n’t take an treacherous source for something to sense off about these rumors , though . The very question of dumping two movies that between them belike cost north of $ 300 million to grow is a self-destructive suggestion ; that ’s a massive red ink that would not be even partially made back now or in the future tense that could later make serious problem with investor . The delays and reshoots indicate the projects need some body of work , sure , but to not eject at all is n’t how Hollywood address these sorting of job . The want oftrailer forX - hands : Dark Phoenixmay pique some citizenry ’s interest , but with a February release that ’s not too surprising . The same go for an absence atSan Diego Comic - Con ; Fox put their focus on impend releaseThe Predator , just as they didKingsman : The Golden Circlelast yr in lieu ofDeadpool 2(andNew Mutants ) .
The defining way out , though , come with the impendingpurchase of 20th Century Fox by Disney . Now it ’s gone through , the X - Men , Fantastic Four and all attached persona are returning to Marvel Studios , thus earmark variation et al to lastly appear in the MCU and giving Disney ownership of antecedently free films . This had some fan questioning what would happen toX - man : Dark PhoenixandNew Mutantsfrom the moment they were delay to 2019 , and afterward fuels this newfangled rumor : it ’s alleged the decision to cancel comes from the Mouse House ( with it further theorise they ’ll be saved for the upcoming Disney cyclosis service ) .
Frankly , supposition does n’t weigh in this orbit because , legally , it just ca n’t be done ; until the ink is dry , both company are legally obligate to proceed as normal . That entail Fox ca n’t be making moves for dissolution and Disney can not interfere with Fox ’s output ( this is also why you should n’t expect theX - Men to appear in the MCU at all until 2021at the earliest ) . These rumors thatX - serviceman : Dark PhoenixandNew Mutantsare canceled directly imply that there has been Disney involution at Fox , something that could damage the overall leverage .

If either or both of theseX - Menmovies were to be canceled ( or , to be more accurate , put on hold indefinitely ) it would sure be a major blow to Fox and/or Disney ( that $ 300 million nett loss would n’t be wipe in the dealing ) . But there isnothingbeyond rogue rumor from unobjective sources to go on at nowadays , so this one should be put to bed .
