The X horror franchise from Ti West is one of the most unique things to come out of A24, and Mia Goth is ready to close up a trilogy with the upcoming third movie MaXXXine.
The film is set to come out this July, and we have a new star-studded trailer. Check this out:
Besides Mia Goth who is returning to play the part of Maxine, we also have new cast members including Giancarlo Esposito, Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin Bacon, Lily Collins, and Bobby Cannavale. A lot of fans are also excited to see Halsey take on a supporting actress role in live-action this time.
Just in case you’re not updated on the X timeline, the first movie had Maxine survive a classic horror setting against an aged woman named Pearl (who was also played by Goth). The sequel, Pearl, followed the story of the X antagonist and mirrored how she was also obsessed with her own beauty and wanted a life outside of her farm—which we know she never got.
Now with MaXXXine, we get to flash forward once again to see where Maxine is left after the events of X, and after knowing what we saw in Pearl, it’s possible that Maxine herself could also fall into the same murder-fuelled rabbit hole in her quest for fame.
The movies have been critical darlings so far, and everyone is hoping that MaXXXine will manage to stick the landing.
MaXXXine is set to hit theatres on July 5.
