Another Actor Named to Star Alongside Brad Pitt in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Spin-Off

And here's another name on the list of those who will star in the new project, for which the director of "Pulp Fiction" Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay.

Carla Gugino, known for her roles in "Spy Kids" and "Watchmen," is set to star in "The Adventures of Cliff Booth." According to Deadline, this is planned as a spinoff of the cult classic "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which earned Brad Pitt an Oscar.

The cast might expand to include Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Elizabeth Debicki, and Scott Caan. David Fincher is taking the director's chair, with a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino — and that combo alone sounds like a promise of something truly stylish.

The plot's still under wraps. Early reports suggest we'll follow Cliff Booth ( Pitt ), the stuntman and Hollywood fixer, as he gets tangled up in another mess of other people's problems — solving them his way, with humor when it works, fists when it doesn't.

What role Carla Gugino will play remains a mystery. But knowing her track record, we could be looking at anything: a femme fatale, a producer with a dark past, or... (drop your guesses in the comments!)

She's been keeping busy on screen lately: "The Fall of the House of Usher" (2023) on Netflix, "The Friend" (2024) with Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, and "Heads of State" (2025) with Idris Elba.

Production is expected to kick off this year. And I'll be watching the casting news like a hawk — you'll be the first to know. Earlier, we at zoomboola.com covered the dung beetle animated movie that Ryan Reynolds is making.
