Mia Goth says MaXXXine, Ti West's upcoming sequel to X and Pearl, is "wild" and has the "best script of the three by far". While promoting her new horror sci-fi Infinity Pool, the actor claimed to Variety that the follow-up is "going to be the best movie of the three."

Goth continued: "We're all so tight now. This is going to be our third movie we're working on together and everyone's coming back, so it's bringing the band all back together again.

"We just have a shorthand with each other. We know how everybody works and we’re all so excited. 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."

Having survived the murderous rampage of a jealous, elderly onlooker – also Goth, in prosthetics, before she played a younger version of the character in 1918-set Pearl – during her boyfriend's porn shoot in rural Texas six years prior, Maxine isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams and make herself a legitimate movie star.
