The trailer for Netflix's 'The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth' features Brad Pitt's playful jab at Leonardo DiCaprio.
Netflix has released the first full trailer for the highly anticipated film The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher and penned by Quentin Tarantino. The announcement was made on September 21, 2026, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which detailed the trailer's content and the film's unique premise. This film marks the continuation of the story from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with Brad Pitt reprising his role as Cliff Booth.
In the trailer, Brad Pitt presents a humorous moment where Booth remarks that he no longer doubles for Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Rick Dalton, because "Rick got too fat." This playful jab contributes to the camaraderie between the two stars, who previously starred together in Tarantino's previous film. Fans are likely to welcome this interaction as a fitting representation of their dynamic on screen.
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth takes place in 1977, marking a significant time in Hollywood’s evolution, eight years since Cliff Booth’s last on-screen appearance. The film explores a vastly different landscape, where Booth has transitioned from a celebrated stuntman to a fixer navigating the Hollywood elite’s problems. He balances various roles, including bartending and working as a projectionist, all while addressing the trouble in the industry.
The plot promises to weave elements of murder, blackmail, and theft into its narrative, reflecting a darker side of Hollywood that flourished during this era. The official description hints at a blend of crime and ambition, suggesting a notable shift from the whimsical tone of the previous film, demonstrating the complexities that exist in a heavily commercialized and cutthroat environment.
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth is slated for a two-week exclusive run in IMAX theaters worldwide starting November 25 before its transition to Netflix on December 23, 2026. This release strategy aims to maximize audience engagement, leveraging the film’s cinematic experience before it becomes widely available on the streaming platform.
The trailer's release not only generates excitement for Pitt’s character returning in a new capacity but also reinforces the collaborative strength of Fincher and Tarantino. Given the previous film's success, audiences are likely eager to see how the familiar characters evolve in this darker narrative. The playful interaction between Pitt and DiCaprio may resonate well with fans who appreciated their chemistry in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, fostering anticipation for the new installment's tone and story. As the premiere dates approach, viewers can expect more engagement with the film's promotional material and release.
