Fox is busy expanding it X-Men movie universe with a variety of spin-offs, including Deadpool 2, Gambit and New Mutants. Following the success of Deadpool and Logan, it looks like they’re not gonna be afraid to try something a little different again with the last of those, as director Josh Boone told EW, “We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe. There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.”
The film is now starting to come together, with the news, via THR, that Rosario Dawson is in talks to stars in the movie, joining Split’s Anya Taylor-Joy and Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams. The film will centre of a team of mutants, but one that’s more teen-driven and angsty that X-Men, with Dawson as ‘Dr. Cecilia Reyes, a medical doctor who has the ability to generate a protective bio-field around herself. The character assumes a mentor role for the group of fledgling heroes…’
‘Taylor-Joy is playing Illyana Rasputin, code-named Magik, a girl who has learned sorcery and uses teleportation discs to travel. Williams is Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane, a girl struggling to reconcile her religious beliefs with her power to turn into a wolf.’ The five young mutants in the movie are being held in a facility against their will, having to learn to to deal with the powers, which have proven a danger to others in the past.
The movie is due to start shooting in June, for release April 13th, 2018.
Josh Boone made his name with the character-based films Stuck In Love and the recent hit Fault In Our Stars, but he’s already shown he’s keen to get stuck into genre fare by signing on to direct a movie version of Stephen King’s The Stand.
There’s a lot of buzz for next month’s The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green’s incredibly popular novel. However it seems that some people have been wondering what would happen if it was based around a romance between two guys – and that includes the film’s stars, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff.
Following in the footsteps of the likes of Ben Affleck and Scott Cooper (both of whom have since dropped out), Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is close to singing a deal to write and direct Warner Bros. and CBS Films’ upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, The Stand, according to 
At a first glance it looks like Shailene Woodley is going a little bit tomboy for The Fault In Our Stars – but the short hair in the first image from the movie above is actually more to do with the fact that she’s playing a cancer patient. The guy she’s holding is. Ansel Elgort.
