Exciting news for fans of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill! The beloved duology is making a return to theaters as a single film, and it looks like this might just be the beginning of more adventures. Tarantino has been mulling over ideas to expand the story of his iconic characters.
Recently, during a screening of “Yuki’s Revenge,” an animated segment set to debut in Fortnite, Tarantino expressed a desire to explore the backstory of the film’s titular villain. He shared with the audience at the Vista Theater that he envisions a narrative focusing on how Bill became who he is, highlighting the three influential figures in his upbringing: Esteban Vihaio, Pai Mei, and Hattori Hanzō.
Tarantino acknowledged that while he has numerous projects on his plate, the concept of a Bill prequel is one he finds intriguing. He jokingly reflected on whether he would be around to create it, noting that his positive experience with animation in “Yuki’s Revenge” has piqued his interest in the medium. Previously, David Carradine portrayed Bill in the Kill Bill films, paving the way for this new exploration in animation.
Throughout the years, Tarantino has hinted at wanting to delve deeper into the Kill Bill universe, including a potential third film featuring Uma Thurman and her real-life daughter, Maya Hawke, in a unique pairing. Despite his busy schedule, Tarantino’s enthusiasm suggests that a new film or animated prequel could emerge before he considers retirement. Until then, fans can look forward to the Final Cut compilation hitting theaters on December 5.
