EXCLUSIVE: JB Tadena (Kung Fu) is the newest addition to the cast of The Adventures of Cliff Booth, Netflix‘s David Fincher-directed sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 Oscar winner Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, sources tell Deadline.
Reps for Netflix declined to comment. While we’re told Tadena will share the screen with lead Brad Pitt, who reprises his role as stuntman Cliff Booth, character details are under wraps, as is the film’s plot. As previously announced, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, and Carla Gugino are also expected to feature in the cast, with Fincher working from a script by Tarinto that sees Booth turn Hollywood fixer. Production is expected to begin later this year.
