"I don't possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story."

With those words, Brad Pitt returned as Cliff Booth, his Tinseltown stuntman from Quentin Tarantino's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* — this time in the David Fincher-directed sequel film for Netflix, titled *The Adventures of Cliff Booth*. (Tarantino wrote the script.)

The follow-up dropped a surprise first-look trailer during Super Bowl 2026 on Sunday, revealing Pitt opposite Elizabeth Debicki (*The Crown*, *MaXXXine*).

Debicki's character brings up the events of the first movie, wherein Cliff and Leonardo DiCaprio's Rick Dalton — the Hollywood actor Cliff doubled for on screen — tangoed with the Manson Family. She presses for more details, but as Cliff's playful response indicates, that story will be saved for the movie's release.

Also spotted in the trailer — which isn't currently available to watch online in an official capacity, though copies continue to spread on social media — are Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Scott Caan, JB Tadena, and other costars.

The footage, which served more like a sizzle, featured a blitz of gunfire, chain-smoking, Cliff pulling off vehicular stunts, and a lots of censored material blurred by animation.

The Cliff role won Pitt his second Academy Award but first in an acting category at the 2020 Oscars ceremony.

"I just wrapped on Fincher's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* sequel, which was just such a dream to make," Debicki recently told PEOPLE at the Sundance Film Festival in January. "I absolutely loved it... We shot it for nearly six months in L.A., and I just adored, adored working with David, just love him to pieces. And I loved working with Brad. In his absolutely iconic role, yeah, it was a joy."
