Nearly three years after the first teaser was initially released, superhero fans who have been patiently waiting for any update whatsoever about the upcoming thriller-horror The New Mutants finally got blessed with a new trailer earlier today!
And as if that wasn't exciting enough, apparently a same-sex romance was also briefly teased!!!

The second teaser for the X-Men spinoff film—which has a stacked cast that includes Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, The Witch and Split's Anya Taylor-Joy, Stranger Things' Charlie Heaton, The Originals actress Blu Hunt, and 13 Reasons Why's Henry Zaga—featured an embrace between characters Wolfsbane (Williams) and Mirage (Hunt); an embrace that seems to confirm rumors that the movie would be featuring some actual LGBTQ+ representation, reports Gay Times.
Let's hope we'll finally be able to see some meaningful queer rep in a mainstream superhero flick very soon!
