Elizabeth Debicki and Scott Caan have officially joined the ensemble aside Brad Pitt for David Fincher’s follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as confirmed by Variety.

Caan, known for his role in Hawaii Five-0 and the Ocean’s Eleven franchise, offers a seasoned charisma.

With anticipation reaching a fever pitch, fans are eagerly piecing together every clue to uncover what the follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might entail.

The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth may delve deeper into the enigmatic past of the stuntman-turned-unlikely-hero portrayed by Brad Pitt. The original film offered subtle hints of Booth’s controversial backstory, including the mysterious death of his wife, a storyline that remained unresolved. With the Vietnam War and the fading Western genre in the backdrop of early 1970s Hollywood, the sequel could explore Booth’s career survival amid a crumbling stunt industry, martial arts scenes, and even potential flashbacks to his wartime experiences.

The project itself feels like an unexpected treat for fans, much like the thoughtful gesture actress Mikey Madison made when she brought Quentin Tarantino a sweet gift during her audition, a moment that became part of the film’s quirky lore.
