‘Kill Bill 3’: Quentin Tarantino Says He’d Cast Maya Hawke As The Bride’s Daughter

Teases Plot Details And Return Of Gogo

Kill Bill 3? Never gonna happen. I’ve made my peace with it, and will content myself with watching Quentin Tarantino’s kung fu classic (We still need The Whole Bloody Affair, thank you!) when the mood strikes. Even though there has been zero movement on a sequel, the prospect is continually talked about, both by fans and by Tarantino himself.

Well, QT is at it again. This time he’s got an idea who should play the daughter of Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo if a sequel were to happen. And I have to say it’s a pretty cool idea…

“I think it’s just revisiting the characters twenty years later and just imagining the Bride and her daughter, Bebe, having 20 years of peace, and then that peace is shattered,” Tarantino said on Joe Rogan’s podcast . “And not the Bride and Bebe are on the run and just the idea of being able to cast Uma [Thurman] and cast her daughter Maya [Hawke] in the thing would be fucking exciting.’

Um, yeah, I want that please. But it’s this next bit that has be unnaturally excited as it centers involes my favorite character from the prior films: Chiaki Kuriyama’s sadistic schoolgirl Gogo…

“Elle Driver is still out there, Sophie Fatale got her arm cut off, but she’s still out there,” he said. “They all got Bill’s money. Actually, Gogo had a twin sister Shiaki and so her twin sister could show up.”

Anything that gets Kuriyama swinging that meteor hammer around again is okay with me. I have a feeling Tarantino will tease shit like this forever, and will never deliver on any of it. He’s supposed to retire after his next movie, anyway, and the chances of it being Kill Bill 3 are slim.

Hawke is obviously best known for her role on Stranger Things, and will return for its upcoming season. She can also be seen in Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy which kicked off this week.
