Fans were surprised by the success of Ti West’s X and Pearl, a double feature starring Mia Goth, and now they’ll be wrapping the story up in MaXXXine. The new film once again stars Mia Goth, who will be reprising her role from X as Maxine, and take us into her life during 1980s Los Angeles. Now the first look at MaXXXine has been released online.
It’s quite a different look for the sequel. The movie is taking place far away from the farmhouse setting of its predecessors. As such, a new cast has been brought in, and as you can see in the first look below, Halsey joins Mia Goth.
Here’s the first look image at MaXXXine:
As for the setup of the film:
“MaXXXine reverses the franchise’s trajectory through time to pick up with Maxine after the violent events of X, as the sole survivor continues her journey towards fame, setting out to make it as an actress in 1980s Los Angeles.”
The upcoming sequel is once again written and directed by Ti West. Fans are no doubt anxious to see how MaXXXine will continue the events of X and Pearl. Especially after many viewers even preferred Pearl to its predecessor. Mia Goth has certainly made a name for herself in the horror genre and it’s exciting knowing that she’ll give yet another stunning performance with this highly-anticipated entry.
In addition to Mia Goth and Halsey, the film also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates on MaXXXine as we have them. The upcoming sequel to X and Pearl has yet to be given a release date. But now that production has started, we’ll hopefully have more details about the project in the near future.
