Mia Goth, who is becoming a goddamn treasure, recently chatted with Variety about her latest projects and, naturally, the X/Pearl/MaXXXine trilogy was brought up.
On which character of hers she enjoys the most:
I would say Pearl. I believe Pearl has fundamentally changed me as a performer. It’s given me a whole new sense of self and a whole new level of confidence in terms of what I think I am able to do. It was a lot, but also just incredibly rewarding and such a gift to play. I really feel as though it fundamentally changed me in many ways for the better.
And here are the MaXXXine treats:
Is there anything you could tease about “MaXXXine” [the final film of the trilogy that includes “X” and “Pearl”]?
It’s the best script of the three by far. It’s going be the best movie of the three. We’re all so tight now. This is going to be our third movie we’re working on together and everyone’s coming back together, 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.
Are you filming it later this year?
Yeah, I’m in prep with the script, doing my homework, getting everything ready. Then you let it all go once you get to set and just hope that some magic comes from it.
