Brad Pitt reprises Oscar-winning role in 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth' trailer
Los Angeles, February 9
Brad Pitt is set to reprise his Oscar-winning role in the highly anticipated followup to 2019's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'. Netflix unveiled a surprise teaser trailer for 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth' during Super Bowl LX on Sunday. The official teaser has yet to be released online, according to People.
The film sees Pitt, 62, returning as stunt performer Cliff Booth, the character he portrayed alongside Leonardo DiCaprio's Rick Dalton in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 hit. The upcoming movie is directed by David Fincher, known for The Social Network and Gone Girl, marking a reunion with Pitt for the first time since The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in 2008. The duo had previously collaborated on Se7en and Fight Club.
Reports of Pitt and Fincher's collaboration first surfaced in April 2025. In July, the actor was photographed on set wearing a long blond wig, a mustache, a yellow floral shirt, and jeans, as per People.
'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' explored Booth and Dalton's lives in 1969 Hollywood, imagining an alternate history where the characters inadvertently prevent Sharon Tate's murder. Pitt won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 2020 Oscars for his performance, while the movie also secured Best Production Design.
Deadline previously reported that 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth' follows the character as a "Hollywood studio fixer" after the events of the original film. The cast also includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, JB Taken, and Corey Fogelmanis, according to People.
The Adventures of Cliff Booth will be released soon on Netflix.

Cliff Booth was the best part of OUATIH for me. So cool they're making a whole film around him. The cast looks fantastic too with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Just hoping the story does justice to the original character and isn't just a cash grab.
Super Bowl trailer drop is a big deal. Shows Netflix is putting serious marketing behind this. Good for them. But honestly, I wish our Indian streaming platforms would invest in creating original content of this scale instead of just licensing Hollywood films.
Interesting that Tarantino isn't directing. David Fincher is a genius, no doubt, but the tone will be very different. Tarantino's quirky, nostalgic style made the first film. Hope Fincher captures some of that magic while doing his own thing.
Brad Pitt at 62 is still doing these physically demanding roles? Respect! The man is a legend. His chemistry with Leo was amazing, but a solo adventure sounds fun. The 'studio fixer' plot has a lot of potential.
As much as I love these big Hollywood films, I do feel a bit tired of sequels and spin-offs. The original was perfect. I'd rather see new stories. That said, I'll probably still watch it on Netflix with some popcorn! 🍿
