Having released in theatres this Friday, Disney's latest flick The New Mutants has given the cinemagoers a big relief. After all, for the first time in months, cinephiles were excited to get dressed, buy a ticket and enjoy the big screen with some kickass action and thrill that they've missed for 8 long months. If you're all excited and want to know more about the movie, well get all comfortable because we have listed down 5 things to know before you catch the film in theatres.

It's an X-Men spinoff

For all the X-Men fans, The New Mutant is here to answer your prayers. It is the 13th and most probably the last instalment in the X-men film series and it's bigger and better than anything you've seen before. The story is about 5 young mutants who are being trained to join the X-men forces, but if you go by the trailer of the film, you'll soon realize that it's far from the truth. Though the movie was originally created to expand the universe of the X-Men franchise, the tone of the movie is nowhere similar to our regular X-men movies, making it all the more intriguing.
