If you’ve been craving a little more one-on-one time with members ofThe New Mutantsteam, you’re in luck. This week, 20th Century Studio rolled out new images around two of the movie’s main characters, Dani Moonstar (Blu Hunt) and Sunspot (Henry Zaga). The new images of Dani and Sunspot were also accompanied by abrand new cast poster, featuring the entireNew Mutantsteam looking more like the children of the corn than actual mutants.
On Monday, three new images of Hunt’s character, Dani Moonstar, were shared on theNew MutantsTwitter account. It’s fitting we should get a look at Dani first since, if thelatest traileris anything to go by, we’ll be following the story mostly through her perspective. Some focus in the new images is place on Dani’s bear necklace. This could likely tie back into theNew Mutants"Demon Bear" Marvel comics storyline which is a major plot for this comics team andinspired the film’s story. In the comics, Dani is also known as Mirage thanks to her ability to create illusions drawn from people’s fears. We’ve seen it teased in the trailers for the movie and her abilities could end up being even more pivotal to the story than we think.
We also get a better look at Bobby da Costa, a.k.a. Sunspot. Thanks to his name and the ominous revelation from Bobby during a group therapy session that he burned his girlfriend, we know Bobby runs hot. Way hot. As these photos remind us, Bobby tries to play it cool at all times as the preppiest mutant of the group. But his ability to manipulate solar energy will likely have him burning off that cool exterior at some point during the movie.
With new images of Dani and Bobby on theNew MutantsTwitter timeline, it’s highly likely we’ll see new images of Rahne Sinclair, a.k.a. Wolfsbane (Williams), Ilyana Rasputin, a.k.a. Magik (Taylor-Joy), and Sam Guthrie, a.k.a. Cannonball (Heaton) in the coming days and weeks. It’s about damn time, too, since therepeated delays and setbacksThe New Mutantshas faced in the last few years has left fans hungry to get their hands on as much new material as possible. In the meantime, we have these character images and yet another spook-tastic new poster.
New Mutantsarrives in theaters on August 27, 2025. Check out the newest poster for the movie below and make sure to read up on directorJosh Boone’s recent tease of aNew Mutantstrilogy.
