The New Mutants Comics Are IconicThe cast of The New Mutants standing together outside their school. Image via 20th Century StudiosClaremont and Sienkiewicz's New Mutants comics are a favorite among die-hard X-Men comic fans, most notably the "Demon Bear" storyline, which the film adapted. Illyana Rasputin AKA Magik, for example, was delightfully unhinged and off kilter, which carried over to Anya Taylor-Joy's performance in the film. Even before the rise of the MCU, Marvel films always nailed casting great actors in the roles of famous superheroes. With Marvel resurrecting numerous mutants in the MCU, many believe that these mutants deserve another shot.
