Check Out The New Look at Brad Pitt Back as Cliff Booth on ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 2’ Set

Brad Pitt is back as Cliff Booth, and fans got a new look at him on the set of the upcoming sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The new movie, called The Adventures of Cliff Booth, is directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino. The story takes place in 1977, about eight years after the events of the first film.

The movie has a strong cast, including Scott Caan, Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Holt McCallany, JB Tadena, and Corey Fogelmanis. While the pictures don’t reveal much about the plot, they show the stylish look fans expect from a Tarantino movie.

The story follows Cliff Booth as he starts a new chapter in his life, working as a Hollywood fixer and dealing with behind-the-scenes problems on big film sets. The sequel has been in the works for a while. Back in 2021, Tarantino talked about exploring Cliff’s time in a POW camp during World War II, saying, “Someday I’ll do his adventure in the POW camp.” That idea eventually changed into this new story.

Earlier in 2024, Tarantino was working on a different project called The Movie Critic. That script later became the next chapter in Cliff Booth’s story. According to Deadline and other news sources, Netflix bought the script and brought David Fincher on to direct. Brad Pitt was confirmed to return as Cliff, and there were rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio might come back as Rick Dalton, but nothing official has been announced yet.

The cast started coming together by mid-2025, with Elizabeth Debicki and Scott Caan joining first. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, and Holt McCallany were added in June, followed by JB Tadena and Corey Fogelmanis. The movie’s title was shortened from The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth to The Adventures of Cliff Booth.

Filming began on July 28, 2025, in California and is expected to finish by early 2026. With David Fincher directing and Quentin Tarantino writing, fans have high expectations for the movie.
