'New Mutants' to portray same-sex romance
Maisie Williams labelled the movie as "a real extension of what is touched on in the comics."
Horror-tinged "X-Men" spin-off "The New Mutants" will feature a "beautiful love story" between Maisie Williams and Blu Hunt's characters.
The movie finally gets its theatrical release next month after a tumultuous road through post-production, and director Josh Boone and actress Williams shared some unreleased details.
"It's sort of the spine and focus of some of the character-driven stuff in the film," explained Boone of the relationship, which will see Rahne Sinclair and Danielle Moonstar grow feelings for each other.
