On September 13, 2022, a teaser trailer announcing a sequel to X, titled MaXXXine, was released shortly following the premiere of Pearl at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.

[15] Scott Wampler of Fangoria was delighted by the surprise announcement and called the teaser "pitch-perfect, hall of fame–level". [16]

On May 1, 2023, a first-look image of Goth and Halsey in costume as their respective characters was shared on A24's and the film's social media accounts.
