The "Kill Bill" series is set to release its combined two-part cut, "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," in North American theaters starting this Friday. Recently, a previously deleted storyline from the scriptwriting stage, "The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge," was launched as an exclusive collaboration with the online game "Fortnite." These new developments have naturally sparked curiosity about whether more "Kill Bill" projects are on the horizon.

At the recent premiere of "Yuki's Revenge," director Quentin Tarantino was pressed on whether he would continue to expand stories within the "Kill Bill" universe. He responded, "We'll see, I have other things to do... I have a complete 'Kill Bill' blueprint in my head, but I've grown tired of it. I really like the idea of Bill's origin story, and continuing to explore the three godfathers who shaped Bill: Esteban Vihaio, Pai Mei, and Hattori Hanzo. But whether I'll live to see those stories realized remains to be seen."

Beyond "Kill Bill," Tarantino has many stories he's long wanted to tell, one of which is the "Vega Brothers" shared spin-off between "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." Fans familiar with Tarantino's work know that John Travolta's character Vincent Vega in "Pulp Fiction" and Michael Madsen's character Vic Vega (also known as Mr. Blonde) in "Reservoir Dogs" are canonically brothers, though they never shared the screen.

Tarantino revealed years ago that he had conceived a story where the Vega brothers would reunite in Alaska. He now indicates that he might be able to realize some concepts that are difficult to shoot in live-action through the medium of Japanese animation, with the Vega Brothers film being one such project.

Additionally, Tarantino discussed in the interview that "Yuki's Revenge" was actually brought to life using motion capture technology. He also made a brief cameo in the film, taking over the role of Bill, originally played by the late David Carradine.
