'New Mutants' Movie Adds Two More Cast

Fox and director Josh Boone are finalizing the casting of their gang of young mutants and they’ve picked an impressive array of young acting talent. So far, we’ve Henry Zaga, Maisie Williams and Anya Taylor-Joy and today, we got confirmation that Rosario Dawson will be playing Dr. Cecilia Reyes.

Words also has it that two young actors, Blu Hunt and True O’Brien, are being considered for the role of Mirage, a mutant with the power to create illusions of people’s fears or wishes.  Hunt seems more likely candidate due to her recently having followed the director and many of the confirmed cast on Twitter, which has proved to be one of the best ways to get advance casting knowledge.

New Mutants has been in development since 2015, though with this trickle of casting news, it seems that filming will commence fairly soon now ahead of its May 2018 release.
