Mia Goth promises that MaXXXine will be even better than X or Pearl
"It’s the best script of the three by far," Mia Goth said of the upcoming Ti West film MaxXxine
Aux News Mia Goth
It’s not often that a new horror franchise blasts into the mainstream with as much force as Ti West’s X trilogy, which is set to wrap up with the ‘80s-inspired MaXXXine later this year from A24. But for all of the accolades afforded to ‘70s slasher X and its technicolor prequel Pearl (even from famously tough critic Martin Scorsese), it seems the best is yet to come.
That is, at least, according to Mia Goth, who plays the titular character as well as both Pearl’s old and young versions. When asked if there was anything she could reveal about the upcoming film in a recent Variety interview, the actor responded as follows:
It’s the best script of the three by far. It’s going [to] be the best movie of the three. We’re all so tight now. This is going to be our third movie we’re working on together and everyone’s coming back together, so it’s bringing the band all back together again. We just have a shorthand with each other. We know how everybody works and we’re all so excited. It’s the biggest story of the three with the highest stakes and Maxine has gone through so much at this point. So when we find her in this new world, she’s just a force to be reckoned with and she goes through some pretty wild adventures.
Goth also spoke about seeing Pearl, which she co-wrote with Ti West, become such a major staple of 2022's cultural landscape. “It’s really wild to witness. I’ve never been a part of something that’s resonated with people as much as Pearl and X,” she said. “It doesn’t feel real in many ways, and it’s bizarre but amazing. It’s so exciting and such a gift.”
MaXXXine has not gotten an official release date yet, but Goth said that she is currently “in prep with the script, doing my homework, [and] getting everything ready,” for filming to start. Once that happens? “Then you let it all go… and just hope that some magic comes from it,” she said.

What do you expect? “The third one is pretty good but not as good as Pearl?” would be interesting promotion.
“This 3rd Godfather is going to be the best one yet!”
It’s pretty weird to think about since there are so few movies that more than a handful in a series that aren’t horror movies, but I’d say the Mission Impossible series is the only one where the movies get better with each new entry.
I hope for this one they pay her enough to get some eyebrows.
BROW-SHAMER!!!! You should be ashamed of your ableist hate-mongering of those unable to grow eye-brows! Or those who choose not to have eyebrows! Or those who choose to have a Frida Kahlo unibrow. That said, I’m hoping she splurges for the “Abe Vigoda” model eyebrows when she saves up enough.
You keep my wife’s eyebrows out your mouth!
But they taste like sugar!
It’s funny speaking of eyebrows I realized embarassingly late what Whoopie Goldberg hasn’t had eyebrows for like over 30 years lol.
Point.
Honesly with Mia, I don’t know if maybe she is just a natural blonde and her eyebrows are just very light, from looking at various photo’s I think that might be the case. and Funnily enough Mia was asked about this in an interview with Into The Gloss in 2017. The actress revealed that she doesn’t do anything to her eyebrows, meaning they are completely natural. “They aren’t bleached, just naturally light,” the actress said.
She is quickly becoming my niche film crush. Have really loved her turns in every film I have watched. She does emotional cray-cray well.
I really did not like either movie. I watch a lot of horror movies, which does not make me an expert by any means, but I love throwing out suggestions just for kicks. The Beta Test, Censor, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, What Have You Done to Solange?, A Wounded Fawn, Sinister, Possession (1981). These are ones I have enjoyed.
Such an interesting list because I know none of them.
You’ve never heard of those?! What about Goodbye to South Pasadena? The Path to Anywhere? The Infinite Cycle? Saturday’s Gone? Backwards Marathon? The End of the Night? Relax, You’re In Bad Hands?!
I thought A Wounded Fawn was terrible, despite a talented cast and crew. It just fell completely flat for me and didn’t work as a thriller or dark comedy. But I loved the two Jim Cummings movies you mentioned (Beta Test and The Wolf of Snow Hollow).
The Beta Test and The Wolf of Snow Hollow are primarily horror comedies.
X was hot garbage.
I enjoyed both X and Pearl and look forward to seeing MaXXXine. I hope that, going forward, Ti West can continue a directing career without falling into the “arty/indie director gets buttload of money and starts making dross” trap.
Same, I didn’t know what to expect with the first one, but tuned in one day on Prime and loved it. Between this and Suspuria, I’ve quickly become a fan of Mia Goth. I hope the 3rd movie’s great!
I’m optimistic that having some movies that make money gets him the clout to finally make his werewolf movie.
Will Mia Goth be the werewolf?
I thought X was great as an homage, bordering on parody. I saw it in the theatre and was almost always the only one laughing.It felt like American Psycho all over again in terms of viewing experience.
If your movie has XXX right in the title you better bring it.
If only Vin Diesel had known this.
I enjoyed both X and Pearl. Mia Goth’s monologue in Pearl was pretty incredible. Excited to see what else they can do.
