In a recent interview, director Josh Boone described the making of The New Mutants as a “traumatic” and “unfulfilling” experience, hindered by Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in multiple delays and a compromised release. Despite early excitement, the film received harsh criticism and currently holds a 36% score on Rotten Tomatoes, leaving Boone feeling that they only made “half the movie” they intended.
