Brad Pitt fans, rejoice! The Oscar-winning actor is reprising his iconic role as Cliff Booth—the cool, enigmatic stuntman from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood—in a new spin-off currently in production in Los Angeles.
Pitt was recently spotted on set, dressed in vintage 1960s clothes, sparking major excitement among cinephiles. While plot details remain under wraps, the spin-off is said to explore Booth’s life before and after the events of Tarantino’s 2019 masterpiece.
The original film earned Pitt an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and Cliff Booth has since become a cult favorite. His blend of calm danger, old-school values, and brutal loyalty resonated with fans, and his return signals a deeper dive into Hollywood’s “Golden Age” from a stuntman’s point of view.
Whether Tarantino is directing or simply producing is still unclear. But one thing’s for sure: this spin-off could become one of 2026’s most anticipated releases—especially with Pitt back in full form.
With Hollywood leaning into expanded universes and character-driven side stories, this move is both smart and exciting.
