Another character promo video for Josh Boone's THE NEW MUTANTS has been unleashed upon the internet, with the latest tease focusing on Anya Taylor-Joy's Illyana Rasputin a.k.a. Magik. In the brief video clip, we see the chaos magic-wielding mutant getting rather artful on the walls of her asylum cell. As Magik scribbles what could be an incantation for a portal to Hell itself, we spy Illyana rocking her iconic dual-bun hairdo made popular by the pages of Marvel-brand comics. Furthermore, now that we've gotten character promos for nearly all of THE NEW MUTANTS, I wouldn't be surprised if a more plot-driven trailer is set to arrive sooner rather than later.
You can check the new promo out for yourself below:
For THE NEW MUTANTS, five young mutants, just discovering their abilities while held in a secret facility against their will, fight to escape their past sins and save themselves. The upcoming film is set to be the first chapter of an X-Men horror-related trilogy, with Boone and his crew hoping to offer Marvel fans something quite different than what they've come to expect from the studio's pantheon of mutant-related movies.
If you're looking to read up on THE NEW MUTANTS, I highly recommend checking out writer Chris Claremont and artist Bob McLeod's New Mutants, as well as Uncanny X-Men (2006) from writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Chris Bachalo.
THE NEW MUTANTS will arrive in theaters on April 13, 2018.
