Fans are already looking forward to the X-Men spinoff flick "The New Mutants". There were rumors that Josh Boone's film has already started casting the lead characters. Now Anya Taylor-Joy has reacted to speculations that she is being considered to play Magik. Will the star of "The Witch" become the perfect Ilyana Rasputina opposite Maisie Williams' Wolfsbane?
The "New Mutants" rumors started earlier this year. The report suggested that "Game of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams will play Wolfsbane while Anya Taylor-Joy will portray Magik. However, the casting rumor for the X-Men spinoff film has been squashed. Nevertheless, Taylor-Joy seems very much interested in taking on the role of Colossus' sister.

Unfortunately, there has been no casting news about the X-Men spinoff film. However, it looks like Josh Boone only needs to call Anya Taylor-Joy and Maisie Williams if he's ready to start casting "New Mutants".
