Naturally, this leaves room for a Kill Bride or Kill Beatrix movie where Vernita’s daughter hunts down her mother’s killer. It’s a project that that Tarantino and Thurman still discuss possibly doing to this day.
Even back in 2004, Tarantino was raring to go for the sequel, saying “The star will be Vernita Green’s daughter, Nikki. I’ve already got the whole mythology: Sofie Fatale [Julie Dreyfus] will get all of Bill’s money. She’ll raise Nikki, who’ll take on the Bride. Nikki deserves her revenge every bit as much as the Bride deserved hers.”

Recently though, while talking about Kill Bill sequels and/or reboot possibilities with NME, Vivica A. Fox mentioned how’d she’d love to see Zendaya play Nikki. “Zendaya! How hot would that be?” she said. “And that would probably green light this project. Because her and Uma are both very tall, and it would just be kick-butt, and I love her.”
“Hopefully now we can put that out, like ‘Tarantino, cast Zendaya!’ And spark his interest to put it on the fast track.”
So what do you think about this casting? Would you like to watch Zendaya v. Uma Thurman? In a bloody, stabby battle for Kill Bill supremacy? Also, would you like this to be Tarantino’s tenth and final film as the director has said many times that he plans on only making ten movies and then retiring. Let us know below.
