3 Actresses Rumored to Join THE NEW MUTANTS, Plus the Characters They'll Play
Hitfix is reporting that three actresses have already been cast in The New Mutants movie currently being developed by Josh Boone (The Fault of Our Stars). Not only do they have the names of the actresses, but they also claim to have information on who they will be playing in the movie.
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams he reportedly been cast in the role of Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a. Wolfsbane, and The Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy will be playing the sister of Colossus Illyana Rasputin, a.k.a. Magik, which was teased in a previous interview. Then there is Alexandra Shipp (Stright Outta Compton), who will reprise her role as Storm from the upcoming X-Men Apocalypse.
All of these actresses are fantastic. I don't know if you saw The Witch or not, but Taylor-Joy is insanely talented, and Williams kicks ass. Any film would be lucky to have these actresses. The report goes on to mention other characters that could appear in the film:
"It looks like they’ll also be casting Cannonball, Sunspot, and Mirage, so they really are going for the most traditional version of the team, the first line-up... You can expect James McAvoy to play a significant role in the film, which makes sense."
It's awesome to hear the X-Men cinematic universe is going to expand further with the possible inclusion of these characters. There's no official confirmation of this news yet, so make sure to treat this as a rumor for now. I hope it's true! What do you think of the casting choices for these characters?
