Pearl cast: Who is each actor playing in the movie?

The horror slasher movie Pearl is now playing in theaters. Ti West’s latest movie serves as a prequel to his hit horror feature, X. Since this is a prequel, most fans were expecting an all-new cast to portray the younger versions of the characters we meet in X, so you may be confused after spotting a familiar face in the movie. Who stars in both X and Pearl and who else rounds up the cast?

Pearl takes audiences back to where it all began, following the story of Pearl, the villainous character from X. Fun fact! Both X and Pearl were shot back-to-back, but this was kept a secret. Even better, Pearl will not be the last movie from Ti West’s X franchise. A sequel to the original, titled MaXXXine, is currently in the works. So have a seat and buckle up, there are more killer adventures ahead.
