New Mutants
The New Mutants , Fox ’s lastX - Menfilm , earlier let in cameo for Professor X ( James McAvoy ) and Storm ( Alexandra Shipp ) . Moviegoers might be hard pressed to notice a film that has had bad luck thanThe New Mutants . Originally slated for release in 2018 , thehorror - tinge superhero moviekept see its release escort kick downstairs as a result of the Disney - Fox fusion . After being held from the release calendar for so long that fans wondered if it would ever see the Inner Light of daytime , The New Mutantswas finally schedule for April 3 , 2020 . However , the coronavirus pandemic gave the long - awaited photographic film just one last obstacle , forcing it to take flight April for anew , hopefully lasting , August date .

According toNew Mutants Updates , Boone substantiate news report that other drafts ofThe New Mutantsfeatured scenes set at the X - Mansion and cameos from Professor X and Storm . Xavier ’s potential presence in the filmstretches back to 2016 , before product start .
Fox initially wantedThe New Mutantsto be congeal within thesame timeline asX - Men Apocalypse , but that was later scrapped soThe New Mutantscould be a standalone story . Last year’sDark Phoenixmarked the final appearances of McAvoy ’s Xavier and Shipp ’s Storm ; with the X - human race being rebooted for the MCU , it ’s unconvincing that they ’ll get the chance to return .
Including Professor X and Storm inThe New Mutantswould’ve been an interesting way to bring that movie into theX - Mentimeline , and it could ’ve provided an opportunity to craft a better story for Storm ( seeing asApocalypseandDark Phoenixdidn’t give her much to do ) . However , many fans are excited forThe New Mutantspurely because it ’ll be a standalone and is markedly different than the motion picture that came before . The New Mutantsdoesn’t need any tie to the larger universe of discourse ; it can be a thrilling tale all on its own .
