Maisie Williams and The Witch’s Anya Taylor-Joy to star in New Mutants
Finally confirming one of the worst-kept secrets in the world of superhero movies, Fox has announced that Maisie Williams from Game Of Thrones will be starring in the X-Men spin-off New Mutants. This comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which has also confirmed that Williams will be appearing alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, star of The Witch and Split. Williams, as we’ve known for quite a while, will be playing a mutant named Wolfsbane who has to “reconcile her religious beliefs with her power to turn into a wolf,” and Taylor-Joy will be Magik, a mutant with teleportation powers who is the sister of popular X-Man Colossus. She also eventually gets a badass sword in the comics, but we don’t know if that will happen in the movie.
