‘The New Mutants’ Trailer Features Fan-Favorite X-Men Pet Dragon

Bob McLeod The New Mutants Fox Disney Marvel X-Men Josh Boone

The first trailer for Josh Boone’s The New Mutants sneakily featured the fan-favorite X-Men pet dragon Lockheed.

While fans are still excited over the most recent trailer for Josh Boone’s The New Mutants, there’s a surprise appearance from a fan-favorite character, Lockheed. While X-Men comic fans will already know that Lockheed is a long-time companion for Kitty Pryde, it seems that he’ll be partnering with Anya Taylor-Joy’s Illyana Rasputin in The New Mutants. The iconic dragon appears right at the end of the trailer, with many fans missing him completely.

The end of the trailer sees Magik fall through a portal and begin fighting Demon Bear outside a hospital. But as she runs towards the villain, Lockheed can be seen on Demon Bear’s left blasting him with a blue flame. Since the X-Men fan-favorite is quite small, it isn’t surprising that many fans missed his appearance, but a Reddit user slowed the clip down to focus on Lockheed in The New Mutants trailer. Take a look below.
