Last week, we were treated to the terrifying first trailer for Josh Boone’s New Mutants. We’d been promised that the film would have a horror-heavy edge, and that was certainly the case. And now, Boone has been talking of his wish to use the picture as the launching point for a trilogy of movies.

Speaking to IGN, the director enthused, “These are all going to be horror movies, and they’re all going to be their own distinct kind of horror movies. This is certainly the ‘rubber-reality’ supernatural horror movie. The next one will be a completely different kind of horror movie. Our take was to examine the horror genre through comic book movies and make each one of its own distinct sort of horror film. Drawing from the big events that we love in the comics.”

In case you missed the aforementioned trailer for the film, you can find that in the player below:

At present, The New Mutants is set for an April 13th, 2018 release – and we cannot wait!
