From 2018, the Marvel hero film "The New Mutants" was finally released in North America after several consecutive delays in 2018. Although the film took a unique approach and turned the superhero theme into a teen horror film, unfortunately, as expected In this way, this first heavyweight blockbuster after the resumption of work in North American theaters did not make any splash. The film's freshness on Rotten Tomatoes failed, and the audience's reputation failed. The box office in the first week was less than 10 million. It can be said that both the box office and word of mouth are on the street .
"The New Mutants" is a Marvel blockbuster, but the situation is special. It belongs to the "X-Men" series produced by Fox, and is a series of "X-Men", "Wolverine" and "Deadpool". "The movie is in the same worldview, Fox was acquired by Disney after "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", so the "posthumous child" of "The New Mutants" itself is very awkward in positioning. Fortunately, it tells a rumored story, and it has no direct connection with other "X-Men" movies.
Recently, Bob McLeod, a comic book writer for the "New Mutants" series, took to the Internet to complain about some embarrassing operations in the "New Mutants" movie, "The New Mutants" adapted from the "New Mutants" comic series "Demon" in the series The Legend of the Bear, and Bob McLeod is the creator of this comic, he is in charge of drawing, and Chris Claremont is in charge of writing. Bob McLeod said that he was originally excited about his work being adapted into a live-action film, but as the film project progressed, the exposure of various materials made him disappointed time and time again——
"I liked actor Blue Hunt (Moonstar) but was disappointed they didn't style her with braids; I liked Maisie Williams (Wolf Venom) but was disappointed they didn't give her a mess redhead; I like Charlie Heaton, but I'm disappointed that his "Cannon" is neither tall nor shy; and I'm most disappointed that the character "Sunspot" in the movie is neither black nor shy Not diminutive, this is another classic example of a white black character in Hollywood. Basically, the director wiped out all the personal traits that I put on these characters in the comics. And the most bizarre thing is that in the film's credits, there are Misspelled my name, and apparently they thought the original comic was written by someone called "Bob Macleod" (with an a's more than the original's name)."
Misspelling the original author's name is really a fatal flaw. Of course, this "father" of the original author does not approve of this work, and the character characteristics also contain the most basic creative concept of a comic artist for a comic work. Such a disrespectful adaptation of the original work would make anyone angry.
Originally, "The New Mutants" still hoped to be integrated into the current Marvel Cinematic Universe, because the film has been delayed again and again, and it is said that part of the reason is that Disney seems to intentionally make it make some extra episodes, so that it will follow Marvel's The Cinematic Universe is connected, because Marvel is now actually considering how to introduce the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Before the film is released, no one can say whether the film will be successful or not. A superhero film with a little novelty like "The New Mutants" will easily become a global hit, such as the previous "Venom", although word of mouth Very bad, it was almost criticized as another "New Fantastic Four", but the film earned more than 800 million US dollars at the global box office, and Venom has become a popular image. Another example is "Joker". There is no story with many twists and turns. It was originally a low-cost crime film, but it eventually became a hit, and the global box office also earned more than 1 billion US dollars. And the director of "The New Mutants" also said before that he actually wanted to make a trilogy on the subject of "The New Mutants". However, judging from the current situation where the film will lose 100%, this is completely Impossible.
The X-Men era that belongs to Fox has come to an end after this movie. The next time I see X-Men series characters, it will undoubtedly be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
