Hello, movie predictions, my old friend. The last time we did this, in the bygone days of March 2020, we were looking forward to movies like The Hunt and The Quiet Place Part II and wondering how Mulan would do…
When we last saw our teen heroes, the New Mutants found their friend and teammate Danielle Moonstar AKA Psyche (I’m… pretty sure she wasn’t calling herself “Mirage” at this point. I don’t know if Claremont’s tendency to have characters re-name…
