A24 has announced that production on the upcoming MaXXXine movie has finally started.
The third and final installment to Ti West’s X horror franchise will once again be led by Mia Goth, who is reprising her titular role from the 2022 film and also starred in its prequel. Goth is joined by a star-studded cast.
“The film follows Maxine, after the events of X, as the sole survivor who continues her journey towards fame setting out to make it as an actress in 1980’s Los Angeles,” reads the synopsis.
MaXXXine is written and directed by Ti West. In addition to West returning to direct, Mia Goth will reprise her role as Maxine Minx, the only survivor of the elderly Pearl’s rampage in the first film. Joining Goth are Kevin Bacon (Tremors, They/Them), Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), musician Moses Sumney (The Idol), Michelle Monaghan (Nanny), Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher), Lily Collins (Emily in Paris), award-winning artist Halsey, and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad).
The upcoming film is the third entry in the X trilogy, which also includes the prequel Pearl. It is produced by A24, Jacob Jaffke, and West, and executive produced by Goth. Additional producers include Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss.
The first film originally starred Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Scott Mescudi/ Kid Cudi, Martin Henderson, and Owen Campbell, while the prequel featured David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, and Matthew Sunderland. This makes Goth the only cast member who appeared in all three X films.
