‘New Mutants’ Director Josh Boone Seems To Confirm Maisie Williams as Wolfsbane
Oh yeah! New Mutants is a thing!
Production on the X-Men spin-off New Mutants is rumored to begin in April or May this year with The Fault in Our Stars director Josh Boone at the helm. 20th Century Fox hasn’t made any official announcement about the project, but there have been plenty of details that have surfaced. Now one of those details seems to have been confirmed by Josh Boone himself.
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has been linked to the cast of New Mutants, though no word on her involvement has been confirmed by anyone. Josh Boone may have just done that though by sharing a piece of art featuring the actress as Rahne Sinclair, the mutant who comes to be known as Wolfsbane, due to the fact that she can transform into a wolf.

This would seem to confirm that Maisie Williams will indeed be playing Wolfsbane in New Mutants. Otherwise it would be rather misleading of Josh Boone to share this piece of art. Wolfsbane was one of the mutants featured in the comic art that Josh Boone posted last spring to tease the team line-up. The transforming mutant was featured along with Mirage (aka Dani Moonstar), a Cheyenne girl who can cast illusions; Magik (aka Illyana Rasputin), a Russian sorceress who can teleport through time and space; Cannonball (aka Samuel Guthrie), a Kentucky guy who can propel himself like a rocket; and Sunspot (aka Roberto da Costa), a Brazilian mutant who can absorb and channel solar power.
