Even though Deadpool and Wolverine is an official entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the film does serve as a continuation and something of a tribute to the days in which 20th Century Fox owned the exclusive film rights to a select few Marvel properties, from X-Men to Fantastic Four. It even featured a few returning characters from that era, along with multiple others that appeared in the X-Men franchise. It was also considered a much-needed redemption for the X-Men films, especially after the unsatisfactory conclusion that Dark Phoenix had left the fans with. There was one other film in the franchise, however, which served as the true final Marvel project produced by Fox and has sadly since been forgotten due to the way Disney handled its release. The New Mutants was meant to launch a whole new generation for the X-Men films but turned out to be the very last installment, one which got very little attention.While the film wasn’t exactly the widely-recognized success that it should have been, mostly due to the decision to release it during the height of the pandemic, it did deliver a new fresh take on the property and introduced some incredibly fascinating characters and concepts that were practically begging to be further expanded upon in a sequel. For those who felt disappointed with the way Dark Phoenix initially ended the X-Men film franchise and may be looking for a palate cleanser, The New Mutants is more than worth a shot.The big twist of the film comes with the realization that Reyes is actually working for the Essex corporation and that her “superiors” are really having her prep the group to be forcefully turned into living weapons for the company. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the exact same company that cloned X-23 in Logan. Its place in the overall timeline of the X-Men franchise is never been officially confirmed within the film, but it’s more than likely that it would’ve been answered and expanded upon in re-shoots that would’ve also given clarity to a few other unanswered questions, but a certain behind-the-scenes shakeup prevented this from happening.
