Ti West’s Plans Beyond ‘MaXXXine’
When West’s first film in his cinematic series,X, axed its way into theaters in 2022, a new horror icon was born in Goth’s Maxine. The title, which also starred names likeJenna OrtegaandKid Cudi, was just what the genre doctor ordered as it gave slasher flicks a new shape to work with. After the breakout film’s popularity, West revealed that he and Goth had already been working on a follow-up titledPearl. The project turned out to be a prequel, giving a background story to one of the characters introduced inX. A vibrant telling of a psychotic young woman’s life, Goth again starred as the titular character.Now,MaXXXinewill complete the trilogy. At least, that’s what we thought.
According to West, there’s still a chance that there will be at least one morechapter in Maxine’s story. Giving a guarded answer, when asked about that fourth installment, West cautiously said, “Maybe.I don’t know.” Should the third movie perform well, and the studio asks West to keep things chugging along, the filmmaker said thathe does have a design floating in his head.
“There is this one weird idea that I have that is kind of… if I explained it, it would make sense.But we’ll see what happens. Let’s get this movie done first, see if people like it. Then we’ll go from there.”
As forMaXXXine, the plot will continue the tale of the titular killer as she moves to Los Angeles to become a star.Goth has previously teased that it’s the best work that she and West have done over the franchise, only further building the already established base of intrigue. Stay tuned for more information including the eventual trailer and release date reveal.
