‘New Mutants’ Comics Co-Creator Bob McLeod Blasts Film for Misspelling His Name, Whitewashing Character
Eli Countryman Bob McLeod, the “New Mutants” comic series’ co-creator, took to Facebook Friday to express his concerns over the new film, including white-washing and the misspelling of his own name in the credits.“I was very excited when I heard they were making a New Mutants movie,” his Facebook post starts. “I thought making it into a horror movie was perhaps an interesting idea, but not at all how the characters should be introduced to the public at large.”But as more information became available, he began to dislike creative choices made by the film’s team.
