Movie release dates are shifted around all the time for a number of reasons, yet one of the most bizarre events in recent years is the regular delays of X-Men spinoff The New Mutants. The popularity of superhero movies results in more ambitious projects being developed as movies or TV series, with New Mutants set to explore a more horrifying tone of the Marvel franchise than has been seen in recent years. Despite the premise of the film seeming like a success, it has been delayed multiple times, with its last official announced released date being today, August 2nd, before it earned its current April 3, 2020 date.

The film's first trailer debuted in 2017 for an April 2018 release, exciting audiences with its more horrifying tone. Unfortunately, the film was then pushed to February 2019 briefly, before being delayed yet again to August 2nd. This past May, following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the film earned its potential new release date.

In honor of the film missing its release date, fans took to Twitter to bemoan the film's complicated release strategy. Scroll down to see what fans are saying about The New Mutants!
