"All the prep that I did for older Pearl in ‘X’ as well as Maxine (another character she played in ‘X’), I kind of brought with me during my prep for younger Pearl in ‘Pearl,’" Goth said.
Goth added "It was immensely helpful."
"Pearl" hits theaters on Friday, September 16th – the previous film in the new horror series "X" is available on-demand now.
