David Fincher is set to return to Netflix for an unexpected sequel to a hit Quentin Tarantino movie.
The director, who previously worked with the streamer on the likes of Mank, The Killer and Mindhunter, is reportedly working on a follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
The original Tarantino film was released in 2019, and featured Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth in an Oscar-winning performance.
According to The Playlist, Pitt is set to return as the character with Fincher directing – though Tarantino has written the screenplay for the sequel. It is unclear whether Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie will be back as Rick Dalton and Sharon Tate.
However, it appears that production could start as early as this summer, meaning we likely won't have to wait too long to see it.

Tarantino's purported final movie was set to be The Movie Critic, which was rumoured to feature Pitt's character Booth, though that has since been scrapped.
Earlier this year, Tarantino revealed why he hasn't directed a movie since the 2019 film, explaining that he has been taking time away to raise his son Leo.
"I’m in no hurry to jump into production right now, I’ve been doing that for 30 years," he said at the Sundance Film Festival.

"I kinda want to not end up doing whatever movie I end up doing until my son is 6," the director continued, suggesting that 2026 would be the earliest he would start.
Tarantino further teased that he had been working on a play, adding: "If that’s a smash hit, that might be my last movie".
