‘New Mutants’ Co-Creator Bob McLeod Slams Film’s Whitewashing, Misspelling Of His Name, Says He’s “Done With This Movie”
You would think that after a week of bad press for “The New Mutants,” which included director Josh Boone defending the film’s whitewashing of an Afro-Latino character, reports of Fox nearly throwing the entire thing in the garbage to start over, and reviews calling it “the worst ‘X-Men‘” movie yet, the film would finally find some peace now that it’s finally in theaters. You’d be wrong.
