The Movie Critic could’ve been Tarantiniverse’s Avengers Endgame

Film Review ended abruptly last week, saying Tarantino “just changed his mind” about the project. Touted to be Tarantino’s 10th and final film, The Film Critic was slowly but surely becoming one of the most anticipated films of 2025. The cancellation came as a surprise to everyone, even though Tarantino has canceled movies from time to time. Still, the film was scheduled to go into production later this year, but it appears the idea hasn’t been finalized yet. According to reports, film critics had planned to recast Tarantino and Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for playing a donut-realistic stuntman, but surprisingly was set to reprise his role. . The Hollywood Reporter notes that the project has “changed” to include Cliff Booth. But he’s not the only member of the Tarantine universe to have a portal from one movie to another. The director “played” the idea of ​​saying goodbye to his own film world and introducing characters from old films into this film. Another idea was to involve a young Tarantino representative through her 16-year-old usher in an adult cinema. These cameos were made in “movie-within-a-movie” situations or as in-universe actors playing Tarantino’s characters. Still, we can’t help but imagine the applause on opening night when Honey Bunny and Pumpkin walk through a portal into the screening of Rio Lobo and are chased out by a young Tarantino. . That must be a delicious hamburger.
