Pretty soon, Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed Kill Bill duology is coming back to theaters as a single film. And it seems that might not be the end of things, as the filmmaker’s now got some ideas in mind to continue the story of the two movies.
During a recent screening of “Yuki’s Revenge,” an animated “lost chapter” coming to Fortnite, Tarantino talked about wanting to give its titular villain an origin story. The idea sprang to mind back when he was doing the two movies, but he told the crowd at his Vista Theater it’d essentially be “about how Bill became Bill and the three godfathers that made him: Esteban Vihaio, Pai Mei, and Hattori Hanzō.”

Is it real? Is it fake? You feel a headache coming on.

Stranger Things Season 5 is full of new characters, from the villainous Dr. Kay (Linda Hamilton) to foul-mouthed Derek Turnbow (Jake Connelly). But there’s also an unexpected familiar face in the mix — and not one you might expect.
See, Stranger Things has a consistent habit of bringing back seemingly dead characters. Hopper (David Harbour) could have died in the Starcourt Mall explosion in Season 3, but he wound up in the Soviet Union instead. Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) seemed like a goner following his Season 1 encounter with the Demogorgon, but somehow he returned in Season 4. So if Stranger Things Season 5 was going to bring back a character from prior seasons, chances are it would have been someone we lost. Maybe even a fan favorite like Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn).
