Actor Vivica A. Fox is open to a third installment in the Kill Bill franchise, if Quentin Tarantino wants to make it.
Speaking with Variety, Fox, who appeared in both Kill Bill films as Vernita Green, acknowledged that fans want more of the iconic action series. "People are hungry," said Fox, adding, "Quentin, let’s go!" While there's nothing in the works yet, Tarantino has mentioned that a potential “Kill Bill Vol. 3” would be centered around the daughter of Fox’s character seeking to avenge her mother’s death by killing Uma Thurman’s "The Bride."
Despite her character being killed at the start of Kill Bill Vol. 1, Fox said she'd be more than happy to appear in a third film, saying, "I’ve been waiting. They said it’s going to be my daughter growing up. I know he’ll figure out some kind of way…maybe I’ll be in a flashback." The actor added that, despite the role requiring a lot of training, she'd love to work with Tarantino and Thurman again.
Fox also named Zendaya as the actor she would want to play her daughter. "She’s beautiful, she’s amazing. She’s winning Emmys." Fox noted. The actor also admitted she hasn't spoken to Tarantino in a while, saying, "The last time I saw him I got invited to a party during his Oscar run for [Once Upon a Time in Hollywood]. He had a great part on Sunset. Now he’s a dad! He might be taking some time to enjoy fatherhood."
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Saga
Kill Bill Vol. 1 was released in theaters in 2003. The film starred Thurman as one of the world's greatest assassins, seeking revenge against the four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad and the titular "Bill," played by the late David Carradine. The film grossed $22 million on its opening weekend and received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the visual style but scrutinizing it for being little more than an empty, violent action film.
The film's sequel was released six months after the first in 2004 and received overwhelmingly positive reviews. For comparison, Kill Bill Vol. 2 currently holds an 84 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel earned a worldwide total of $152.2 million. It was praised by critics for maintaining the first's visual style while adding a sense of humor, and paying homage to classic kung-fu movies.
