According to CBR, 20th Century Fox has signed Josh Boone to write and direct the New Mutants movie. 20th Century Fox is looking to expand their X-Universe, as this seems to be the one Franchise they have done ok with.
We are excited to explore this new part of the X-Men universe, and so excited to do it with Josh, who is uniquely suited to tell this story about young characters,” X-Men franchise veteran and “New Mutants” producer Simon Kinberg tells Deadline.
Boone, director of massive 2014 hit “The Fault in Our Stars,” is set to co-write with Knate Gwaltney, who wrote upcoming thriller “Kidnap” (starring X-Men franchise vet Halle Berry) and worked on several “Jackass” productions. Kinberg will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner, who has worked on all of Fox’s X-Men films.
They are saying the movie is still a few years away, but it might be time to tuck away a copy of Marvel Graphic Novel #4, The New Mutants first appearance, if you can find one on the cheap. Also look at New Mutants #1
the first issue in the storied series.
Unsure if it will be the classic team or not, or some combination in between, but these would be safe bets.
This is good news. New Mutants #1 can be found super cheap. New Mutants #87 would be the other key I would pick up. Near mint copies can be found for 35+
Nice ! something a bit different, this should be good !
Cable’s first appearance would be a must own I would think.
Some high prices already for issue #1 on ebay but I would think they can be found at many local shops relatively cheap for a little while at least.
Doesn’t take long for the market to react. Going picking today so will see what I can find!

Found 6 #1s for super cheap. The word hasn’t spread too much yet
@ Nice..Same here picked up seven for cheap and in nice shape. Not sure how this will be during the down time until The film is released. If the book will climb little by little or simply jump now and stay at a certain price or even go down a little until a few months before the movie hits. All I know is there was a lot of them made, but with the any movie coming out that doesn’t seem to matter much. The one I’m most curious about is the graphic novel and first appearance. I picked up a VF for $40. To me that seemed high when I bought it the other day, but the prices online seem to show it was a good purchase. Not sure what the ceiling on that could be.
