This guy makes it sound... pretty damn bland.... what a way to end the original run of X-men movies... that started on such a high note... Did we really expect anything more? This is a movie that Fox decided was so poor it needed reshoots to make it worth releasing, then just never got around to scheduling them until the actors literally aged too much to make it worth doing. That it's apparantly not a raging dumpster fire is almost a let down at this point.

Can we talk about this?
Setting aside the implications of choosing a fair-skinned actor because "he could look like a guy who's had the silver spoon in his mouth", how do you even go about doing a character like Sunspot and decide you don't care about the racism in Brazil, which happens to be a significant part of Sunspot's backstory? This isn't about whitewashing; they already had a light-skinned Sunspot in Days of Future Past, and we all remember their Storm, so I didn't exactly have high hopes to begin with. This is about whitewashing a character for whom race is a pivotal part of the character.
Henry Zaga was cast in the role of Sunspot in 2017. Josh Boone has had THREE YEARS to come up with a good answer to this question.

So, I'm just expecting the movie to suddenly be delayed today just because.

Does the intrigue revolve around whether this is good or bad, or simply that it got released at all?

Does the intrigue revolve around whether this is good or bad, or simply that it got released at all? Definitely that it got released at all. As I said in my earlier post, it was deemed unreleasable in its original form, then just kinda forgotten about, and now Disney are releasing it in said original form - more than two years late - out of contractual obligation with barely a penny spent on advertising. The tale of how it's finally reached our screens is almost certainly more interesting than the movie itself.

Is this the movie that was going to be a horror movie and then they switched gears?

Every ad break on any streaming service I have used the past week has had a New Mutants ad.

The character with a well documented history of claustrophobia was their first choice to confine people. Buh?

I still just want Anya as Magik cast in the MCU because really that IMO has been the best thing I see about this movie was that perfect casting.

I would've set the film on fire and pretend it never happened.
