As we approach the highly-anticipated conclusion of Ti West’s X and Pearl trilogy with MaXXXine, the newly released second trailer throws us back into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Hollywood. The wait for this grand finale has felt particularly long given that the first two movies were shot back-to-back, raising expectations for this final chapter.
Mia Goth returns as Maxine Minx
Mia Goth reprises her role as the aspiring Hollywood starlet, Maxine Minx, who has now found her way to Los Angeles. However, her newfound environment is anything but glamourous, as she becomes entangled in a series of murders involving women like her. The trailer gives glimpses of a nightmarish journey where Maxine may or may not be hallucinating encounters with the devil. Could the real-life killer known as the Night Stalker be behind these gruesome acts, or is it Maxine herself? This shadowy figure looming over Maxine raises critical questions about whether someone so deeply scarred can ever escape their past unscathed.
The Star-Studded Supporting Cast
The film features a spectacular ensemble cast that includes 
Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon. Notably, each actor plays a crucial role that propels Maxine’s story forward—Debicki portrays a film director, Monaghan and Cannavale take on the roles of LAPD detectives, and Esposito will appear as an agent for adult film actors.
Synopsis Revealed
