MaXXXinehasn’t even been released yet, but director Ti West is already teasing details about a potential fourth installment in the horror movie franchise.
In a new interview withEntertainment Weekly, the filmmaker confirmed that the upcoming flick, which sees Mia Goth’s titular character go toe-to-toe with a serial killer, while trying to make it as an actress in ’80s Los Angeles, will “probably be the end of the Maxine era”. Though he went on to say that an “unexpected” spin-off, in the vein of prequelPearl, could be on the cards…
“I do have one idea that plays into these movies that could maybe happen,” West noted. “I don’t know if it’ll be next. It might be. We’ll see. I’ll say that, if there’s more to be done in this X franchise, it’s certainly not what people are expecting it to be.
“It’s not just picking up again a few years later and whatever. It’s different in the way that Pearl was an unexpected departure,” he continued. “It’s another unexpected departure.”
Halsey, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon round out the supporting cast of MaXXXine, which releases on July 5.
