Mia Goth is getting ready to return for the third installment in the horror series X, and she’ll be in pretty good company. The supporting cast of the upcoming horror pic MaXXXine has been announced and it includes the likes of Lily Collins, Bobby Cannavale, and Halsey.

Collins (Emily in Paris), Halsey (Americana), and Cannavale (The Watcher) will be joined by Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), Moses Sumney (The Idol), Michelle Monaghan (True Detective), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), and Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill).

MaXXXine serves as the third installment in Ti West’s horror series X, centered around Mia Goth’s characters Maxine Minx and Pearl. The first two films, X and Pearl, were shot back-to-back and they were both released to critical acclaim in 2022.

Since no slasher film is complete without a bunch of sequels, West decided to continue Maxine’s story in the third film in the franchise, which will show her continue her journey to fame and try to make it big in Hollywood during the 80s.

X is a movie that is informed by and affected by independent exploitation auteur Americana and 1970s cinema, and Pearl is perhaps affected by the Golden Age of Hollywood and the glitz and glamor of cinema, MaXXXine will be more about within the industry itself and the boom of VHS,” explained West.
