Well, they could forgo the reshoots and release New Mutants as it is. There has already been money put into marketing aso, even if it bombs, this will still more money than what they get if they don't release it at all.
Looks like this is getting that Disney marketing.
Don’t think this has every been done before.

Looks like Disney is going to release it — which makes sense, the Fox X-Men films do tend to make a lot of money and all Disney really has to do is pay for the advertising.
As for New Mutants, I read that it's still on the release schedule, so perhaps they are going to release the original cut of the film, no reshoots.
So there is apparently a very good third trailer that will likely release when Endgame plays.

TV spot
Sophie looks pretty menacing.
Anyone think Jean will live? The X-Men: Days of Future Past timeline establishes her as alive, so...
Takat Empress
Lol continuity.
Mileena Madness
Clearly she dies, comes back, dies again, then actually didn't die that second time, before we get to that time period. We just never see those movies. Or it's actually her time-travelling clone daughter and everyone just agreed to leave it alone.
Humans inferior. Ultron superior.
Continuity between X-Men films? What is that?
Bite my shiny metal ass.
Disasturbator
It tales place in another reality where Jean lives
New theme music also a box
The market for this movie has been pretty good.
Something is coming tomorrow[1] I guess tickets will be going on sale plus another trailer or special look?
Final trailer
Interesting. The plot plays out a bit like we expected it to, but it still leaves open many questions regarding the true nature of the other female and what angle they're going to go with for the finale with the Phoenix.
Just in time for Endgame.

This movie made me realize another problem with X3: the X-Men never had a battle with Jean.
The only confrontation they have with her is Xavier getting obliterated and Jean letting Logan stab her to death with little resistance. She never actually has a battle with anybody. That makes the movie even lamer when you think about it. =/
Takat Empress
But the Juggernaut said bitch! :V
Mileena Madness
Especially, when X2 set-up Phoenix as this huge deal. It’s like Infinity War having Thanos never fight the Avengers or the Guardians instead just have him snap half the universe away. Then in Endgame he lets himself get defeated without much resistance after teasing at him so much.
X-Men 3 along with Spider-Man 3 are the last remnants of the tradition of comic book movies taking two actual but unrelated story arcs directly from the comics and slapping them together with no rhyme or reason. The end result was one primary story that took up most of the plot and the second story barely relates, evolves over the course of the film or resolve properly. The Burton/Schumacher Batman films were especially bad about this, and can be seen with the nonsensical villain team ups (you'd think Freeze trying to freeze the world would be bad for Ivy's plant utopia). End point though, the Dark Phoenix Saga should NOT have been the B story.

The last? may I remind you of Batman vs Superman?
Well, that's kind of a...weird advertising thing. Dark Phoenix doesn't exactly scream "Drink IPAs," does it?
As for the money thing: yes, that's what I meant. Since the film is completed, it would be a net gain for Disney to release it, rather than New Mutants, which would require more money to complete and therefore might result in a loss. Or not, I'm not sure how much money the reshoots/advertising budget would cost, as opposed to the money it would make.
But X-Men Apocalypse
made over 500 million worldwide and that film was...certainly a film, so it makes sense for them to release Dark Phoenix the same way. And if it flops, they haven't spent so much money on it that it would affect them.
