Mutants already exist. But, there are only a very small amount of them activated. Until the fingersnap. See for the most part activating the mutant gene is a result of trauma. And this certainly qualifies.
How do we bring in mutants whilst simultaneously explaining no one knowing about them? We start with The X-Men. As in the original X-Men. Cyclops, Iceman, Marvel Girl, Angel and Beast, led by Professor X. Its set in the past, and bar X, they will all be kids, The movie is a coming of age film, and lets you use their powers as metaphor. It will be written and directed by Joss Whedon.
We explain how no one knows about them with a combination of Prof X, government cover up and people being written off as religious nutters (specifically with Angel there). We can also have some of the easier to hide mutations. Beast won't be blue, that comes later, and we can maybe lean heavily on telepaths for other known mutants.
The fingersnap also changes the X-gene so that it can be activated simply by puberty, like in the comics.

The Conjuring 2 is pretty good in the stock kind of way if you haven't seen it.
