Watch: The New Mutants

Watch: The New Mutants

There seems to be some confusion about whether 'The New Mutants' is in fact a thirteenth 'X-Men' movie. Based on the facts, it contains characters from the 'X-Men' universe and is based on comic book stories attached to the 'X-Men' world, so we'd have to say that it is. Much like her 'Game of Thrones' sister Sophie Turner appears in 'Dark Phoenix', Maisie Williams has bagged herself the lead role in this one. We have to assume that was a deliberate bit of casting!

Williams appears as Wolfsbane, a deeply religious Scottish girl trying to reconcile her beliefs with the fact that she sometimes turns into a werewolf. That can't be an easy mental process. Pitched as a 'Breakfast Club movie with mutants in it', if all goes well this will be the first of a potential trilogy of connected films, thus expanding the 'X-Men' universe even farther on screen. August 2nd is the date to watch out for.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
