The New Mutants, the long anticipated X-Men spinoff movie, is going to be a comic book film that goes in an unusual direction. “We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe,” director Josh Boone says. “There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.”
Game of Thrones‘ Maisie Williams has been cast in the role of Wolfsbane and Split actress Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik. Sources close to the production say that Henry Zaga, seen most recently in 13 Reasons Why (where he played Tony’s boyfriend, Brad), will soon be announced in the role of Sunspot. (Unconfirmed chatter has it that Rosario Dawson is currently in talks as well.)

No offense, but Logan didn’t follow the comics and that was a major hit.
Also have you read the demon bear storyline?0 likes-
Who’s to say that the sequel won’t have costumes.

I agree with you quite a bit. More so on the character’s essence/personality than costumes however. That said, these characters have attributes that have become iconic over the years. Illyana’ armored arm, soulsword &, yes, her bangs are unequivocally hers.
No matter how many times her costume changed, those remained true. Fox might as well be making a completely separate movie at this point, recycling the New Mutant names for recognition.
If anything, given their spotty track record, my expectations remain low. I still consider Logan an outlier success.0 likes -
