"It was really wonderful to be able to see a relationship look like this. In the typically quite masculine world of superheroes, it was just lovely to see these two fragile women who just protect one another and bring light out in each other.

"I'm glad that the fans are so excited for it because I think it's really important to see relationships like this. I think at the heart of it is just this really lovely love story. It just brings it back to reality, I think," Williams said during the 'New Mutants' panel for Comic-Con@Home. The 'X-Men' spin-off, directed by Josh Boone, also features Henry Zaga, Charlie Heaton and Anya Taylor-Joy.
