It is believed the film got delayed due to the merger between Disney and Fox. However, we can now expect a new trailer for the movie in January 2020.

New Mutants illustrator Bill Sienkiewicz during an appearance on the Fatman beyond podcast gave an update:

I don’t know if I’m even allowed to mention any of this, but I will say that the New Mutants film if you’ve heard anything about it in the last couple of years… two days ago, I heard from Josh Boone, the director. And he sent me a new trailer. They’ve been working on it, and it is phenomenal. I got chills. It looks like, because of the whole Disney-Fox merger, takeover, whatever … it’s got the blessings of Marvel. And it feels more Marvel in terms of what they’re doing, but also the horror elements of the film are in place.

The new isn’t confirmed yet but Josh Boone recently replied to a fan on Instagram who asked about the new trailer for The New Mutants, “Soooooon, January.”

There we go: A brand new trailer for #NewMutants is set to debut online in January! pic.twitter.com/091rLTLHP4 — New Mutants Updates (@NewMutantsUp) December 21, 2019

The New Mutants film has been in development since 2014 and the production started during the summer of 2017. The first trailer of the film had released in the fall fo 2017. The trailer was well-received, however, the studio executives weren’t impressed.

Further, the April 2018 released was again delayed due to reshoots and Deadpool 2 release. This pushed the film’s release to August 2019, but that didn’t happen either.

The movie is set to hit the box office on April 3, 2020. However, fans observed, The New Mutants was absent from this year’s D23. The absence raises speculation of its release in the near future.

We hope to see the trailer soon.
