7 Upcoming Superhero Films That Are Really Unnecessary

New Mutants

We don’t know about you, but we’re all mutant’d out at the moment. The last couple of X films from Fox – bar Deadpool and Logan – have left us a little bit meh, so there’s no genuine excitement to see the studio push forward with New Mutants. On top of that, we can’t quite shake off the worrying feeling that this project should’ve been a TV series and not a feature film.

It’s blatantly obvious here that Fox is capitalizing on the X-Men brand and creating as many spinoffs as possible, hoping to generate more Benjamins from all the associated properties. Hence, this feature feels quite insincere and pointless to most of us. Also, there’s the real possibility that it might turn into another Fantastic Four, and we really don’t need more of that crap in our lives.

Look around the net and you’ll need to search really hard to find people talking about how excited they are for New Mutants. It’s not exactly a team of superheroes that we’ve asked for or need to see in the live-action world. We’d prefer if the powers that be invest more time and money into the second season of Legion instead. Now, that’s a worthwhile project.
