Quentin Tarantino said there is “a definite possibility” that he will make a third Kill Bill movie. During an interview on Web series What The Flick!? about his newest film, The Hateful Eight, Tarantino told film critic Ben Mankiewicz that making Kill Bill 3 could be in the cards, though the idea still falls “short of being a probability.”
Tarantino said his plan for a new story set in the Kill Bill universe, accounts for the time that’s passed between the first two films and the third. In fact, this hypothetical return was long-planned: Tarantino said in 2009 that he would return to the franchise after at least 10 years. Kill Bill: Volume 2 was released in 2004.
Though he didn’t elaborate on his story idea, one thing is clear; Kill Bill 3 would definitely see the return of the series’ hero, Beatrix Kiddo.
“I put the character of Beatrix Kiddo through a lot. And so I wanted her to have this much time for peace. To have some time with her daughter, and not have to be on the genre machine; she could enjoy her life for awhile.”
Tarantino also said he’d like to return to the world of Kill Bill because it’s his most visually minded movie.
“I think Kill Bill is pretty much, hands-down, probably my most visionary movie,” he said. “Insofar as I really went beyond the Pulp Fiction stuff to create a world that really doesn’t exist … That is probably my most visionary cinematic contribution. It would be nice to go back to a visceral world that’s not about the words anymore.”
Separately, Tarantino also said that, based on his recent work, he sees himself transitioning to “writing novels and writing plays,” in addition to (or maybe even instead of) writing screenplays.
“Since [Kill Bill], my work has taken a turn towards the literary,” he said. “It’s gotten denser and denser, with [The Hateful Eight] probably being the densest of the group. And that seems like where I’m going to be going too.”
If you can’t bear to sit through the whole interview, jump to the 57-minute mark to get right to the Kill Bill section.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
