gah, that's so cool that you met bill sienkiewicz. even if you can't share more about the New Mutants set pics, would you mind sharing more about what about them made you really excited for the film?

Hair being perfect on some of the girls (baaaaaangs), the hilt of the Soulsword being so cool, info about all the actors and his observations on how they play them because he KNOWS these characters so well, they’re his kids in a big way.

He said Maisie was amazing and really seemed to get Rahne and her nuances, Charlie may not look like lanky Sam but he brings the vulnerability that makes Sam the heart of the team, he said Henry IS Roberto and gets Roberto and not just the cocky side but all his layers, Anya is the perfect Illyana (he was super excited for her, showed me a pic of him and her solo), and that Blu is clearly the newbie so she seemed a little more green but with the cast around her and the direction they’re getting he’s very confident in her being able to pull off Dani.

The way that Bill gushed and was so excited, especially since it’s HIS big arc and his and Claremont’s vision, made me really excited too. I could tell it was genuine, we talked about it for a while and he had a bunch of other people to sell stuff to, so he clearly didn’t want to stop talking about it!

And he asked me to please please spread the word and the excitement if I could because he wants it to do well and he really believes in it.
