Brad Pitt Returns as Cliff Booth in Surprise Sequel Trailer

Viewers got a surprise first look at The Adventures of Cliff Booth during Super Bowl LIX. The sequel to 2019's smash hit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will follow Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth, stuntman, handyman, and alleged wife-murderer, in a new escapade in mid-century Los Angeles.

The film is set to be released some time later this year. In the trailer, Cliff is decoupled from his onetime partner Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) but has a new partner in crime in the form of Elizabeth Debicki. What exactly they're getting up to is unspecified, though Rick calls it "a good story." Netflix sanitized the clip for the Super Bowl audience, censoring substance use, cursing, and copious nudity with faux film scratches — possibly a partial homage to Pitt's rogue projectionist Tyler Durden in Fight Club, which was also helmed by The Adventures of Cliff Booth's David Fincher.

Despite that censorship, the trailer delivers brisk 1970s-style action scored to a cover of the Peter Gunn theme.
