Brad Pitt is officially back as Cliff Booth in the first teaser for the upcoming Netflix sequel The Adventures of Cliff Booth that was recently released during the Super Bowl.

Last year, it was announced that the A-list star is reprising his Oscar-winning role in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel/spinoff film that chronicles the fan-favorite character's adventures in the 1970s. While Quentin Tarantino did not return to direct, he wrote the screenplay. David Fincher took over as the director.

Did The Adventures of Cliff Booth Finally Release a Teaser?

During the Super Bowl telecast, Netflix surprisingly dropped the first teaser for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, giving fans the very first look at the highly anticipated sequel/spinoff movie.

While it didn't reveal any details about its release date or other plot points, the one-minute-long clip gave us a glimpse of the Pitt character now working as a fixer in 1970s Hollywood and his shenanigans as he visits various film sets and bars.

We also got our early look at the new characters that Elizabeth Debicki and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will play.

Just like the first film, based on the teaser, it looks like the sequel will still have lush production values and era-appropriate needle drop that will make the audience immerse themselves in the setting. Even if the script came from Tarantino, Fincher's style is still present in the footage.

It is unknown yet when the full trailer will be released, but it is a great surprise for fans who have been anticipating the movie.

What is The Adventures of Cliff Booth About?

So far, the plot details regarding The Adventures of Cliff Booth are still under wraps, aside from the 1970s setting and the character working as a fixer.

Aside from Pitt, Debicki, and Abdul-Mateen II, the cast also includes Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Holt McCallany, Corey Fogelmanis, JB Tadena, Karren Karagulian, Barry Livingston, Lauren Glazier, and Peter Weller. Timothy Olyphant will also reprise his role of James Stacy.

"I’ve got the best of both worlds. I’ve got Brad, I’ve got my favorite director, David Fincher, directing it. I’ve given David a gigantic novel written in screenplay form," Tarantino teased last year when he discussed the project.

For now, stay tuned for more news and updates in the coming months regarding the release date and other details.
