perhaps that's for the best, though.

None. Those films haven't yet been announced, just that there are plans to do something in the future.

I know I shouldn't take this seriously, considering how ridiculous all the other X-Men powers are, but goddamn, X-Men's writers do not give a shit how mutations work in real life, haha.

The ultimate question, will Magik's mutant power be her powers as a demonic sorceress or just her portals like the comics?
What? Almost every Marvel movie outside of Winter Soldier and the original Iron Man (and GOTG I guess, not a huge fan) is "middle of the road." And we actually haven't had any teen group superhero movies yet outside of Apocalypse which was colossal wasted opportunity. And this film sounds to be tackling some weird shit.

What did he mean by this?

Wooo more continuity fuckery!
How does someone write a sentence like this with a straight face?

I don't think the New Mutants will tie into X-MEN movies so continuity won't matter.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Lycanthropy is a sin. Shame....shame...shame...
Continuity fuckery is a fundamental pillar of X-men storytelling.

An X-Men movie with a parallel to the Trump administration would be damn poignant right now.
With Fox running the show, I don't know how much sway its top executives have on the movie division.

Massie Williams is perfect casting for wolfsbane.

Love Ana Taylor Joy. Can't say I'm excited about this movie or anything but she is great
A reunion with mcavoy too will be dope.

It's also funny because Williams plays Arya Stark, a character whose heavily associated with wolves.

Great casting.
I really hope they know how to handle Magik's origins and her relationship with Colossus (who appeared like 20 to 30 years in the future)

I'm glad Anya Taylor-Joy is in this but I can't really bring myself to give a shit about Maisie Williams.
I don't think she was in Split.

She was the main character.
I'm pretty surprised that she's 21, I thought she was younger.
McAvoy isn't in this according to Hollywood Reporter. Rumor was false apparently.

Why are they putting in Warlock without Doug Ramsey!?
Argh.

Cypher's power doesn't make for flashy scenes, and they weren't Douglocking at that point

Yup, and that's what I'm most anticipating about this film. After Logan & Deadpool, I definitely have faith that Fox will deliver something different. Very excited!

Literally the most important relationship Warlock had was with Doug... It's just such a shame.
Doug is the best
Doug/Warlock friendship is one of Marvel's best buddy duoI mean Magik is Russian... Illyana Rasputin
New Mutants are bloody awesome source material to work from.

Combat as body language was a brilliant way to boost Doug's abilities into Comic Book usefulness (Doug's powers are arguably the most useful by real world standards)
I'm hoping Doug is there but they just don't think he's worth mentioning in the press releases

Is this supposed to be the present or the past?
I can't keep up anymore lol
Combat as a body language is actually some next level
There's an 80's miniseries from Claremont that covers what happens in Limbo when she was taken by Belasco, rapidly aged, and developed her arcane powers. It's okay.

It's after his resurrection yeah... but they could have included it from the get go in the movie...
Combat as body language is comic book genius
Oh! I thought they meant Maisie. Damn, the girl from Split's in this? Definitely gotta see it now.

Doug Ramsey is the best...
There are so many things you could do with him in a movie...
That feeling of not having a cool/flashy power, his teammates holding him back because they think his powers aren't useful in a fight, and then him learning about all the incredible things he could do ala that image, ala the combat as body language.
The character growth and story potential for him are fantastic but they're just going to ignore it because they can't look past the intial impression of his powers not being cool/flashy.
