The long-delayed and still highly anticipated New Mutants may have just won Comic-Con@Home 2020 with some massive reveals – including the first two minutes of the movie! – and the cast and director chased their mic-drop panel with an exclusive and extended chat about the movie with Rotten Tomatoes.

The New Mutants is scheduled for release in theaters August 28, 2020.
