 Actor Mia Goth is Maxine Minx, the title character. Her arc begins in the first movie, X, in the 1970s when she and her friends attempt to shoot a porn film. In Maxine, we've fast forwarded to the 1980s and she's hoping to make it big in Hollywood. But she also has a target on her back when it comes to creepy characters. In the first film, it was Pearl. Here, it's the serial killer known as the Night Stalker.
