Vivica A. Fox is pushing for a third “Kill Bill” movie more than two decades after the franchise first captivated audiences. The actress is actively manifesting another installment, expressing hope that director Quentin Tarantino will eventually return to the iconic story. Fox also reflected on how thrilled she was to land a role, recalling the intense and grueling training she underwent to prepare for her action-heavy scenes.

Tarantino previously entertained the idea of another “Kill Bill” movie, but later changed his stance, saying the story was complete.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Vivica A. Fox expressed her desire for “Kill Bill 3.” In “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” released in 2003, Fox portrayed the role of Vernita Green, aka Copperhead, an elite assassin-turned-housewife.

The saga follows former assassin Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), known as The Bride, as she exacts revenge on the five people who betrayed her, including Copperhead. The Bride killed Copperhead in an action-packed fight in the latter’s kitchen, with the scene ending in Vernita’s daughter, Nikki, seeing the carnage.

“I’d love for us to be able to do Kill Bill 3 soon,” Fox said. Despite her character’s death, the 61-year-old actress said she could return as a presence warning her daughter. At the end of their fight sequence, The Bride addressed Nikki, saying, “When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I’ll be waiting,” implying that she’s expecting the girl to avenge her mother’s death.

Fox also presented the idea of appearing in a flashback sequence if “Kill Bill 3” gets made.

Vivica A. Fox Felt Like She Was Training For The Olympics

Fox performed almost all of her own stunts in her fight scene, except for falling on the glass table. According to the actress, she underwent six months of intense training as preparation.

In an interview for Cocoa Butter in 2025, Fox said the choreographed fight was “vicious,” and she went down several dress sizes. “I literally went from like a size 8/10 down to a size 2. I couldn’t even hold onto the weight,” she explained.

The actress also reminisced about that time with the Daily Mail, saying, “I thought we were like training for the Olympics, but everyone was so dedicated, check their egos at the door, and that’s why the film has become a classic.”

While her character died in “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” Copperhead returned for “Kill Bill Vol. 2” in flashback sequences.

Vivica A. Fox Keeps In Touch With Quentin Tarantino

The actress was asked whether there have been discussions about a third “Kill Bill” movie. “Keep putting it out there in the universe, we just need for Quentin to pick it up and make another,” she responded.

Fox said she had been in contact with the director over the years, and they also see each other at various events. The actress gushed about being cast in “Kill Bill,” expressing how “thrilled” she was to have had the opportunity to work with other stars, including Thurman, Lucy Liu, and Daryl Hannah. She also praised Tarantino, saying, “His contributions as a filmmaker is just undeniable.”

Quentin Tarantino Had An Idea For ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3″

In an interview with Andy Cohen on “Radio Andy” in 2019, Tarantino was asked about the possibility of a third “Kill Bill” movie. At that time, the filmmaker said he had just discussed it with Thurman, revealing that he had an idea.

Tarantino said that he’s toying with the idea of what happened to The Bride after the events in the two movies, but doesn’t want a nonsensical plot. “She doesn’t deserve that. The Bride has fought long and hard,” he explained.

Despite not revealing details about his idea, he shared his timeline, saying, “Now I have an idea that would be interesting. I wouldn’t do it for a little bit. It would be like at least three years from now, or something like that. But it is definitely in the cards,” he said.

The Director Shut Down The Idea Of ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3’

Tarantino teased fans in the years following, even sharing the potential plot for the third movie. In a 2021 appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the director said it would be set 20 years after the events in Vol. 2, focusing on The Bride and her daughter, B.B.

“The idea of casting Uma and casting her daughter, Maya, and the thing would be f-cking exciting. I mean, Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is still out there, Sophie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) got her arms cut off, she’s still out there. They all got Bill’s money. Gogo (Chiaki Kuriyama) had a twin sister, her twin sister could show up,” Tarantino said.

In a 2024 episode of the “Club Random Podcast” with Bill Maher, however, Tarantino firmly said he’s not doing “Kill Bill Vol. 3.” The director believes the story had a logical conclusion and told Maher, “I did it, I killed Bill.”
