Development
After the Midnight Madness showing of Pearl at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Ti West announced development for a third movie, titled MaXXXine. Following the announcement, the filmmaker released a teaser clip for the film. West wrote the script and will direct the film as well, with Mia Goth reprising her role as Maxine from the first film. In April 2023, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan,  Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon joined the cast. The film was produced by Little Lamb and Mad Solar. Filming
Principal photography began on April 11, 2023 to May 24, 2023. Filming took seven weeks, taking place on location in Los Angeles. Marketing
On September 13, 2022, a teaser trailer announcing a sequel to X, titled MaXXXine, was released shortly following the premiere of Pearl at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. It featured the 1983 synth-pop song "Obsession" by Animotion. Scott Wampler of Fangoria was delighted by the surprise announcement and called the teaser "Pitch-perfect, hall of fame-level". On May 1, 2023, a first-look image of Goth and Halsey in costume as their respective characters was shared on A24's and the film's social media accounts. They were captioned: "The life she deserves", referencing the personal mantra spoken throughout X by Maxine. Glenn Rowley of Billboard noted Goth's dramatic costume shift from her "Little House on the Prairie-esque look" to a "tousled blonde mane and iridescent green windbreaker". Release
MaXXXine is currently slated for an unannounced date. A24 will serve as distributing company, in addition to their production role. Notes
