Breaking Down the Most Anticipated Tarantino Film: Unveiling Kill Bill Vol 3's Secrets Exclusively From a Deadly Viper Actor
Despite fans' persistent requests, the highly anticipated Kill Bill Vol 3 sequel is unlikely to materialize, dashing hopes for further deadly adventures Fox's plea to director Tarantino seems to have fallen on deaf ears

Vivica A. Fox recently discussed why Kill Bill Vol. 3 is the most highly desired movie among Quentin Tarantino fans, despite almost twenty years since the previous installment. The first two films focused on Uma Thurman's character, initially unnamed but later revealed as Beatrix Kiddo, seeking revenge against her former squadmates, a group of assassins led by the titular hitman, for attempting to kill her, her fiancé, and unborn child. While the story seemed to have concluded, discussions about Kill Bill Vol. 3 have persisted among the cast and Tarantino himself.
In a recent interview with CBR for the crime show The Interrogation Room, Vivica A. Fox shared her insights on the fervent demand for a Kill Bill Vol. 3 from Tarantino fans. The actress, known for her role as one of the Deadly Vipers, explained that the fans' enthusiasm stems from the "magic" that Tarantino infused into the first two movies and how it has resonated with audiences. She also mentioned her character's reappearance in a viral music video, which further contributed to the desire for another installment. See Fox's explanation below.
Why Kill Bill Vol. 3 Will Likely Never Happen
The primary allure lies in the adoration people have for Tarantino's creations. His work consistently exudes an idiosyncratic charm that astounds, captivates, and leaves you longing for more. Allow me to share an experience I had while directing a video for SZA. We decided to recreate a scene from Kill Bill, and the response was extraordinary. It quickly went viral, accumulating a staggering 70 million views. Soon after, speculations arose, asserting that SZA would be cast as your offspring in Kill Bill 3. Yet, the truth is far simpler - it was merely a music video, driven by her admiration for Tarantino's masterpiece. Ultimately, I believe it is the profound admiration for Tarantino and the enchantment woven into his films that truly resonates.
Despite previous calls from Fox and the enduring popularity of the idea, it is highly unlikely that Tarantino will ever make Kill Bill Vol. 3. The filmmaker has consistently attributed the delay to his intention of portraying the story in a chronological manner, giving The Bride and her daughter ten years of peaceful life before plunging them back into the world of violence.
Regrettably, the almost 20-year wait since Kill Bill Vol. 2 has created numerous obstacles for the possibility of Kill Bill Vol. 3. One significant roadblock is Tarantino's separation from Miramax, the rights holders of the first two movies, due to the revelation of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault allegations. This becomes an additional issue if Tarantino wishes to continue collaborating with Sony Pictures following the success of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as Miramax was recently acquired by Paramount.
Another major hurdle for a potential Kill Bill Vol. 3 is Tarantino's expressed desire to retire from filmmaking after his tenth movie, which he has revealed to be a project called The Movie Critic. Despite previously selling the option rights to some of his screenplays, such as True Romance, Tarantino has generally maintained a strong commitment to telling his stories in his own distinctive style. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would hand over control of a new Kill Bill installment to someone else. However, considering his reported interest in venturing into television, it would be intriguing to see if the third installment could find new life in that format.
