Along the way, reports about the movie planning for reshoots became routine.
But, for all this talk, Boone confirms they never happened.
Everybody said we did reshoots!
Weve never done reshoots, he tells EW over the phone in late February.
By everybody, he means the cast.
Williams was 20 at the time.
Now, she’s 22.
And with Disneys focus remaining on its ever-expandingAvengersfranchise,The New Mutantswas delayed.
Speaking with EW now, Williams says, The movie is exactly the movie we set out to make.
It was a sometimes aggravating situation with the only information she heard about the film coming from news headlines.
We had heard nothing because of the merger, Boone adds.
It was radio silence for about a year where we had no new information at all.
I said, I would fin love to come finish the movie!
“In the editing, we were probably 75 percent done,” Boone explains.
“We came back and finished it up.
It took a couple months, and it was nice to be able to come back.
Knate [Lee], my co-writer, and I, we hadnt seen it in a year.
We did a bunch of things here and there that we hadnt thought about or noticed a year before.
You see a little bit of him there,” Boone says ofthe latest trailer.
These were the first people Boone wanted to watch the film.
Its very… thriller, Williams describes.
Its not a happy, upbeat superhero comedy film.
Its definitely very dark.
The New Mutantswill now open in theaters on April 3.
