Here’s everything you need to know about Goth and the new horror hit coming your way.

What are the controversies around Maxxxine?

Along with the hype, Maxxxine has also seen controversy ahead of its release as background actor James Hunter has filed a civil action of battery against Goth, 30, per The Guardian. In his lawsuit, he alleges Goth kicked him in the head during a scene in which he plays dead on the ground, when she’s only meant to step over him and had already been warned she’d almost stepped on him. Hunter also claims Goth “laughed” at him after filming had wrapped for the day.

Hunter has also filed a lawsuit against A24 productions for wrongful termination. The hearing is set to be held on July 10, according to court documents.

Are the stories in the X series connected?

Yes. While the release order of the three films is X in March 2022 followed by Pearl in September 2022, Pearl is actually the prequel to both X and Maxxxine.

Pearl takes place in 1918, X in 1979, and Maxxxine in the 1980s, so we do suggest that you watch the films in chronological order to understand the full context of the trilogy.

Who does Mia Goth play in X?

In X, Goth plays protagonist Maxine, an actress in an adult film production on location at a guest house at an isolated farm in Texas, as well as Pearl, the old lady who owns the farm with her husband Howard, who had rented out the guest house to the film crew … before all hell breaks loose.

Goth told Screen Rant that her prosthetic make-up for Pearl took a long time to apply, and that it was a “funny” process.

Who is Mia Goth married to?

However, the couple has been married since 2016, and despite a period of separation in 2018, Goth and LaBeouf got back together two years later, and welcomed their daughter Isabel in 2022.
