At the TIFF screening of Pearl, West surprised audiences with a post-credits scene, set to VHS-style footage, announcing his new film, MaXXXine. According to the official synopsis, the third film “follows Maxine, after the events of X, as the sole survivor who continues her journey towards fame setting out to make it as an actress in 1980’s Los Angeles.”

The trilogy began in March 2022 with X, which follows a group of young adults attempting to film a pornographic movie on an elderly couple’s Texas farm. When Howard and Pearl learn about the group’s intentions for the film, they embark on a vicious killing spree, murdering every member besides Maxine.

Colman Domingo confirms Marvel talks, addresses Kang rumors: ‘I want a role to be mine’
Colman Domingo holds a phone to his ear, and Jonathan Majors sits on a throne.

Ever since Marvel fired Jonathan Majors, Colman Domingo has been rumored to step into the role of Kang the Conqueror.
While speaking with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Domingo set the record straight about his conversations with Marvel. After seeing his name constantly associated with Kang, Domingo and his team reached out to Marvel to see if they were true.
“When it was constantly in the press and on places like Twitter, I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Is this true? Am I being talked about for Kang?'” Domingo told Horowitz. “I literally called up my team and said, ‘Are you guys having conversations that I have no idea about?’ And they said no. ‘Are you guys being cagey or what?’ They weren’t.

"There had been conversations about me coming into Marvel in some way, so we did follow up with a sit-down meeting with the heads of Marvel. So I did do that. We talked openly about the landscape of Marvel and the Kang rumors."
As Kang the Conqueror, Majors was set to become the MCU's next big villain, following in the footsteps of Josh Brolin's Thanos. In December 2023, Marvel fired Majors after he was convicted of reckless assault and harassment. Without Majors, Marvel needed a new actor to play the villain in the previously titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
