Anya Taylor-Joy Discusses Those NEW MUTANT Reshoots

Many fans were saddened when The New Mutants got pushed back from April 13, 2018, all the way to February 22, 2019. My wife and I were really looking forward to it after seeing the trailer. Of course, this additional time is allowing the studio to make sure everything is done right. Anya Taylor-Joy, who is playing Magik, has opened up about the reshoots that are happening with this extra time. She told The Playlist:

“Well, the only thing that I could say, without being in trouble, is that it being delayed is disappointing, frustrating in fact, because we were all very excited for it to be released on April 13th, and I don’t mean just disappointing for me, but I’m sure there are a lot of other fans that were looking forward to seeing it.

I do think that there is a great responsibility to make sure the movie is done right and that we deliver the fans something that they can all feel happy about and excited about. So, I don’t think it being delayed is a bad thing because it’s definitely more important to make sure that we get it right than rushing to make a date. So, hopefully, all of these reshoots and adding of the new character that will give the fans an altogether satisfactory, wonderful product.”

I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been for the cast and crew on the film. Thinking the project was done, and then being told that they were going to redo parts of it and add a whole character. I want to know who this new character is. They must be a huge freaking deal to be added in at this point.
