Officially, Kill Bill Vol. 3 is being developed, and Zendaya and Uma Thurman will play significant roles. The movie, which is set years after Kill Bill Vol. 2’s events, reintroduces Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) to the world she previously battled to leave. In keeping with his signature style, Tarantino’s most recent film examines themes of retribution, legacy, and fate.

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.
