As it was promised, so it shall be: Writer and director Ti West is making a third movie in his X horror series, and it’s got quite the cast. When Mia Goth’s Maxine makes her way to Los Angeles, she’s going to encounter Elizabeth Debicki, Kevin Bacon, and Halsey—and more.
The whole lineup also includes Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, Michelle Monaghan, and Moses Sumney. The Hollywood Reporter says, “According to sources, it will deal with the dangerous world of underground filmmaking. Characters details are being kept secret, but what is known does point the way. Esposito plays an agent for adult film and Z-list movie actors while Debicki is a film director. Monaghan and Canavale are LAPD detectives while Bacon is a private detective.”
A24 shared the cast in a video that matches up, at least in soundtrack, with the earlier teaser.

MaXXXine takes place after X, in which Maxine was the lone survivor of a certain massacre. She played dual roles in that film; the most recent film in the series, Pearl, was a prequel in which Goth played a younger version of one of her X characters.
This time, West and his cast and crew have yet to film the next movie (they secretly shot Pearl back to back with X). MaXXXine is set to begin filming next week, and no release date has been set.
