The New Mutants is based off a comic book series related to the X-Men. They were the younger member that still hadn’t fully developed and learned to control their powers.
This series was really about coming of age and teenage angst. Then in issues 18-20, they had their moment that changed the series. The Demon Bear saga changed the team and those of us reading the comics. It made them become more adult before they were ready. It is a horror story mixed in with the young hero team. It is the greatest New Mutants story.
Fox has adapted it to create this movie in the trailer. I am not sure what I think about it yet. It is just the first trailer. But I would have liked to had a fun movie getting to know the characters before they did this storyline. But no one asked me.
