“The New Mutants” is the only film that Disney or Marvel brought to Comic-Con@Home, but the long-delayed final entry in Fox’s “X-Men” franchise — which was delayed yet again because of the coronavirus pandemic — is sticking with its current Aug. 28 release date. At least for the time being.
The film’s panel opened by noting its numerous canceled release dates, from 2018 to now, ending with a card mentioning that Aug. 28 date, and a note: “Fingers crossed.” So the film is still scheduled for a theatrical release. Many fans speculated that “The New Mutants” was getting a Comic-Con panel to announce a streaming release, but it looks like that turned out to be incorrect.
