The oft-rescheduled “X-Men” spin-off is back on the release calendar – and this time it looks to stick.
Disney has announced a September 3 theatrical release for “The New Mutants” across Australia. The film will play all states but Victoria where the Coronavirus is still running rampant and theaters are closed as part of a Stage 4 lockdown that lasts until mid-September.
Josh Boone’s flick, starring Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga, Blu Hunt, Henry Zaga, was originally set to open April 13, 2018, before being delayed to February 22, 2019, to avoid ”Deadpool 2”, and then to August 2, 2019, to avoid ”Dark Phoenix”. Recent rumors suggested it was bypassing theaters in favour of a Disney+ premiere”.
