Mia Goth is set to reprise her role from X. Six years after the horror show that took place on an adult film shoot in rural Texas, Maxine will do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams and make herself a legitimate movie star. Mia Goth also starred in the second installment as Pearl, playing a younger version of the murderer from X in a 1918 pre-code technicolor origin story.
"We just have a shorthand with each other. We know how everybody works and we’re all so excited," Goth previously told Variety. "It's the biggest story of the three with the highest stakes and Maxine has gone through so much at this point. So when we find her in this new world, she's just a force to be reckoned with and she goes through some pretty wild adventures."
