Fans have been urging Quentin Tarantino to direct Kill Bill Vol. 3 for nearly two decades now, and Vivica A. Fox has an idea to get the filmmaker to fast-track the project: Cast Zendaya. Tarantino has long stated that a Kill Bill Vol. 3 would follow the adult daughter of Vernita Green (played by Fox in Kill Bill Vol. 1) as she seeks revenge against The Bride (Uma Thurman) for killing her mother, but the project has never materialized. Fox told NME this week that if original actress Ambrosia Kelley was not going to return to play Vernitas daughter, then Tarantino should go with the Euphoria favorite.
I havent got any official word [on Kill Bill Vol. 3], Fox said. I had a feeling that hopefully [Tarantino] was waiting on the actress who plays my daughter to grow up a little bit. But then I was doing an interview and they asked, What young actress would you get to play your daughter? and I was like, No, Ambrosia!, but they meant an established actress. So I went, Zendaya!'

How hot would that be?, Fox continued. And that would probably green light this project. Because her and Uma are both very tall, and it would just be kick-butt ,and I love her. Hopefully now we can put that out, like Tarantino, cast Zendaya! And spark his interest to put it on the fast track. Wouldnt it be amazing?

Tarantino reignited interest in Kill Bill Vol. 3 himself last July when he revealed he was still in talks with Uma Thurman about the project and added, If any of my movies were going to spring from my other movies, it would be a third Kill Bill. The director has said he is serious about retiring from feature filmmaking after his 10th movie, which means whatever project he decides to direct next will be his last. Tarantino doubled down on Kill Bill Vol. 3 in a radio interview last December with Andy Cohen.
I just had dinner with Uma Thurman last night, Tarantino said at the time. I do have an idea of what I would do with [Kill Bill Vol. 3]. That was the whole thing, conquering the concept. What has happened to The Bride since then? And what do I want to do? I didnt just want to come up with some cockamamie adventure. [The character] doesnt deserve that. The Bride has fought long and hard. I have an idea now that could be interesting. I still wouldnt do it for a little bit. It would be at least three years from now. It is definitely in the cards.
The Hunger Games and The Eddy actress Amandla Stenberg has also thrown her hat into the ring to play Vernita Greens daughter. Stenberg said in August 2018 the role would be the ultimate character shed love to play. Fans will have to continue waiting for Tarantino to give the official green light on Vol. 3.

Wait, he's only made nine films?

he made 10, unless if you count the Kill Bills as one movie:

1. Reservoir Dogs
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Jackie Brown
4. Kill Bill vol. 1
5. Kill Bill vol. 2
6. Death Proof
7. Inglorious Basterds
8. Django Unchained
9. The Hateful Eight
10. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood...

He does count them as one movie, yeah.
---

that's fair, tbh.

but if he does make a tenth movie, even though Kill Bill vol. 3 would be cool, I'm more curious about the rumored Star Trek thing

---

I'd prefer that he make something new from his own mind rather than a sequel or an entry in an established franchise, TBH. Especially if it's going to be his last movie (I'll believe it when I die and he hasn't made an 11th film).
---

I want him to make one more modern era movie.

His last 4 have been period pieces.

I want cool gangsters again.
---

I'd love for him to take a stab at sci-fi

---

Well, I guess that would be good news for people who want to see Zendaya's feet.

---

Please keep Zendaya away from QT...

I'm all for this. I feel like Zendaya could branch out into stronger roles.

Besides, superhero movies shouldn't have original love interests. If she's not going to play Mary Jane Watson, she doesn't need to be in Spider-Man.

Would be cool. Kill Bill 3 then maybe a sci fi movie unless he sticks to his next one being his last.
