Rosario Dawson pulls out of 'X-Men: New Mutants'Los Angeles, June 30 (AZINS) Actress Alice Braga has replaced Rosario Dawson in "X-Men: New Mutants" movie.

The 38-year-old had reportedly negotiated with Fox about portraying Dr. Ceilia Reyes, a mutant and medical doctor, in the forthcoming "X-Men" spin-off but she has now pulled out from the movie, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Screenwriter Josh Boone has penned the script with Kante Gwaltney, Simon Kinberg and Karen Rosenfelt on board with producing duties.

Not much is known about the project, but Boone recently shared that his take on the new mutant movie, which will see a team of younger mutants end up forming a new team, will be a "full-fledged horror".

"We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the 'X-Men' universe. There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We're trying to do something very, very different," Boone said.

"Game of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams will star as Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane, a girl struggling to reconcile her religious beliefs with her power to turn into a wolf, alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, who will play llyana Rasputin, a code-named Magik, who has learned sorcery and uses teleportation discs to travel.

James McAvoy, who currently stars as Professor Xavier in the 'First Class' franchise, is also expected to appear in the film.

The set construction will begin in January in Montreal, where "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "X-Men: Apocalypse" were shot.
