Despite not returning to direct, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is set for a surprise sequel, but the filmmaker has another movie that I’d much rather see get a fresh installment. Six years after the original’s memorable debut, a new Once Upon a Time in Hollywood movie will debut on Netflix, giving Tarantino’s latest project new life. Despite Tarantino writing the script, David Fincher is set to direct the movie with Brad Pitt returning as Cliff Booth, making it anyone’s guess what the story will be about, and it’s unclear if the movie will release in theaters.

Although no exact reason has been given, Tarantino not directing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2 is likely down to his 10-movie rule, as he has set a strict limit on how many movies he will lead. As a result, it seems inevitable that his final movie will be something fresh, but there is one other Tarantino film that deserves another outing. A second Once Upon a Time in Hollywood film still sounds great, and I can’t wait to see what Fincher does with the script, but Tarantino’s most action-heavy film is the one that really needs a follow-up.

Kill Bill 3 Is The Quentin Tarantino Sequel That Really Needs To Happen, Not Once Upon A Time In Hollywood 2

A Kill Bill Sequel Has Been Rumored For A Long Time & The Film Series Has Plenty More Potential

Although the first Kill Bill technically already had a sequel, Tarantino himself considers it a second part rather than a separate enтιтy, making it the perfect series to get another outing. By the end of Kill Bill: Volume 2, The Bride successfully dispatches all her targets and finally kills Bill before leaving with her daughter to start a new life. On paper, this feels like the perfect conclusion to her story, hence why Tarantino has never tampered with it for the past two decades, but Kill Bill‘s interesting universe leaves room for more, and I’d love to see another entry.

The Bride may have attempted to settle down into a more normal life in Kill Bill 2‘s ending, but a new movie could focus on her past catching up to her. Whether it’s one of Bill’s ᴀssociates trying to capture her daughter or an ally of someone The Bride killed trying to get revenge, there is clearly plenty of life left in the action series. Additionally, Kill Bill is one of the best American martial arts movies ever made, and the two-part story had a big impact on cinema, highlighting how lucrative a sequel would be.

It’s Easier To Replace Quentin Tarantino On Kill Bill 3 Than Once Upon A Time In Hollywood 2

A Top-Tier Action Director Could Do Kill Bill Justice, But Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Is Tough To Replicate

Kill Bill 3 would undoubtedly be best in the hands of Tarantino, but it’s much easier to replace him on the project than it will be for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2. While The Bride is easily one of Quentin Tarantino’s best characters, Kill Bill 3 could still work without him, so long as a veteran martial arts director was in charge. ᴀssuming Tarantino wrote the script as he did for OUATIH 2, someone like Chad Stahelski or John Woo could do the sequel justice and carry out the director’s vision, even if it lacked his signature style.

On the other hand, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2 will be much harder to replicate without Tarantino behind the camera. David Fincher is easily one of the best directors of all time, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a classic Tarantino film and not one that can easily be picked up by another filmmaker, even one as good as Fincher. Whereas Kill Bill is action-heavy and can survive with someone else at the helm, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood relies on intense dialog and wild twists, the kind only Tarantino can do so successfully.
