Ti West has an idea to continue the slasher world of 'X', 'Pearl' and 'MaXXXine'

It will be released in theaters next July. MaXXXinethe third installment of the slasher world created by the filmmaker You West and the study A24which has been promoted as the conclusion of the trilogy also made up of X y Pearl.

“I have an idea that influences these movies and that maybe it could happen. I don't know if it will be the next one. Could be. We'll see.”

Both X and Pearl were filmed with a very low profile, and the information available about them was very little. West is trying to keep his projects mysterious, though he's eager to take a break after working for three and a half years on his trilogy:

“I hope I can put this in a box under the bed, breathe and figure out what's next. I will say that if there is more to do in this X franchise, it certainly isn't what people expect it to be. It's not just about picking up a few years later and whatever. It's different in the way that Pearl was an unexpected departure. It's another unexpected departure.”

The trilogy began with the release of Xand later the sequel/prequel Pearlwhich had been filmed secretly after finishing filming X. Both feature films were released in theaters in 2022.

MaXXXine features the return of Mia Goth as the protagonist playing the 'final girl' Maxine Minxone of the two roles he played in X.
