The New Mutants’ X-men series turns to horror

A group of young mutants are trapped inside a hospital in the new trailer for upcoming X-Men horror thriller, The New Mutants.

The clip features Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Blu Hunt and Henry Zaga being monitored and held at a hospital that is protected by a force field.

The group discusses in a circle the traumatic experiences they went through after discovering their mutant powers.

A series of strange occurrences take place, forcing the group to band together and use their mutant abilities to escape from the seemingly haunted hospital alive.

The New Mutants, from director Josh Boone, is set to arrive in theatres April 3. It is the final X-Men film produced by 20th Century Fox before it was acquired by Disney.

Adele to release new music

Adele is set to say ‘Hello’ to the music world again with reports suggesting new tracks are “imminent”.

It was recently confirmed that the singer will be releasing her first new album in four years. A new video was uploaded recently on the singer’s official YouTube channel.

The singer’s management have said that new songs are ready to be released, as a follow-up to her hugely successful ‘25’ album.

Adele teased her fans that she had been working hard in the studio, soon after celebrating her birthday last May. She wrote on social media at the time: “No matter how long we’re here for, life is constant and complicated at times. For the first time in a decade, I’m ready to feel the world around me and look up for once.

“Be kind to yourself people, we’re only human, go slow, put your phone down and laugh out loud at every opportunity,” she said.
