The New Mutants, the much-delayed X-Men spin-off starring Anya Taylor-Joy, is finding a new audience on streaming six years after its troubled cinematic release. Once seen as a doomed footnote in superhero cinema history due to repeated delays, its entanglement in Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, and an eventual release during the COVID-19 pandemic, the film is now attracting renewed interest thanks to Taylor-Joy's rise to stardom and Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men reboot.

The film, based on the Marvel comic series, follows five young people with special powers who are confined to a secretive institution under the guise of treatment, only to discover their containment is part of a larger conflict. Its cast includes Blu Hunt as Danielle Moonstar, Maisie Williams as Rahne Sinclair, Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie, Henry Zaga as Roberto da Costa, and Alice Braga as Dr Cecilia Reyes, with the movie now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
