During the interview for The Nerdist, the director of the film "New Mutants" Josh Boon shared unexpected information. It turns out that in his film the role of superhero was to get a famous comic Sasha Baron Cohen. He was supposed to become Warlock, a mutant of the race of techman from the planet KSh.
Representatives of the race of techism are biotechnological creatures and resemble a bunch of engaged in chip. Warf can fly, change appearance, create weapons from the body and suck the energy of both living beings and from the instruments. According to the director, Varoklock would be some kind of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings. Sasha Baron Cohen would give him movement and voice, but did not play a character on the screen in the usual understanding of this word.
Unfortunately, all the ideas of Josh Buna were too expensive. And the Fox Studio proposed the director to get rid of one of the two most expensive characters in the production. The film was supposed to leave or Warlock, or a demon-bear. Bun decided to leave a demon-bear. But hinted in an interview that in the case of the release of the second part of the film, he hopes for the appearance of Varlock in it.
