Marvel Fans Attribute The New Mutants Delay to a Curse


There might have been a lot of excitement building up over The New Mutants the past few months, but it looks like the spread of COVID-19 has delayed the movie again, removed from Disney's current slate of releases for this year.

While this isn't the first film to see delay after the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, this is the fourth time that the X-Men spinoff's gotten a different release date. Some of the delays were made so that 21st Century Fox could make room for bigger movies like Deadpool 2 and others were rumored to be supposed reshoot requests. Before the coronavirus, the film was delayed because of 21st Century Fox's merger with Disney.

Now at its fourth delay because of the COVID-19 pandemic, fans have begun talking about The New Mutants curse. Taking to Twitter, fans have been sharing their disappointment over the film's delayed released. Fans have been attributing the delay to a secret curse placed on the X-Men spinoff movie with some joking that the film should just be retitled to New Mutants and the Curse of Perpetual Delay.

Check out some of the tweets down here:

While it's definitely frustrating for fans to wait for The New Mutants even longer, Disney made the right call delaying the film. The spread of COVID-19 would have affected the film's box office results, and that wouldn't really be good for the movie.

Fans will just have to stretch their patience even longer.

The New Mutants has yet to receive a new release date from Disney.
