Kill Bill Vol. 3 is officially in the works, with both Uma Thurman and Zendaya slated for major roles. Set years after the events of Kill Bill Vol. 2, the film brings Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) back into a world she once fought to escape. Tarantino’s latest installment explores themes of vengeance, legacy, and destiny in his characteristic style.
The storyline follows Beatrix Kiddo’s estranged daughter, Nikita, portrayed by Zendaya. With her mother’s past revelations now unburied, Nikita is determined to confront the forces that once threatened her family, particularly the enigmatic and lethal Beatrix herself. The plot unfolds around Nikita’s quest for justice, which reignites her connection with Beatrix, blurring the lines between past alliances and newfound rivalries.
Zendaya’s addition to the cast is being heralded as an inspired choice, injecting fresh energy into a franchise that has captivated audiences for two decades. Known for her work in Euphoria and Dune, Zendaya is widely regarded as a powerhouse in Hollywood, with her ability to blend intensity and vulnerability—a quality that Tarantino himself is excited to see brought to life within his cinematic universe. The film’s unique focus on complex, female-led narratives continues Tarantino’s tradition, making Zendaya’s portrayal of Nikita a central element that may redefine the franchise’s legacy.
