And from there began the novel of the Launch of the new mutants. With the film already in the works since late 2017, its first release date has been set for April 13, 2018 but it was delayed. With the first postponement, the new date was left for February 23, 2019. However, this time the film was not postponed again, to August 2, 2019 with rumors that the film would go through some reshoots… But nothing was proven and such reshoots never happened. And it wasn't this time either, the film received a new postponement for that year in April 3 but due to the pandemic and with all cinemas closed it didn't happen.
And finally here we are with another new date, August 28, 2020 will it come out now? The fact that Disney still insists on releasing the film to theaters, indicates that the company believes in the box office revenue of the film, because otherwise it could only launch directly on Disney Plus.
