No, Jenna Ortega was not in MaXXXine.
Jenna Ortega's Character in the X Franchise
Jenna Ortega played the character Lorraine in the film X, the preceding installment in the horror franchise. However, Lorraine was among the characters who did not make it out of X alive, meaning her character tragically died in that film.
The Premise of MaXXXine
MaXXXine is set to follow Maxine, who is established as the only survivor of the massacre depicted in X. The film's plot centers on Maxine's ambition to transition her career from an adult film star to a Hollywood film actress. Given that MaXXXine focuses on the sole survivor of the previous film, and Jenna Ortega's character, Lorraine, did not survive X, she does not appear in MaXXXine as a living character.
| Character | Film Appearance | Fate in X | Role in MaXXXine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lorraine | X | Deceased | Not in MaXXXine |
| Maxine | X, MaXXXine | Survivor | Protagonist |
While there have been discussions and speculation regarding "Jenna Ortega's Return" within the broader horror franchise, this refers to potential future developments within the franchise as a whole, rather than her direct involvement in MaXXXine, where her character's death in X precludes her presence.
