Quentin Tarantino’s Canceled Movie Could’ve Been His Own MCU-Coded Blockbuster
That only time when the director could really be inspired by superhero movies.
Summary:
- The news about Quentin Tarantino ’s canceled tenth movie has been shattering the industry recently, bringing in more and more intriguing details about what the director’s final cinematic work was supposed to be.
- The most recent reports state that Tarantino initially had various ideas for his final film’s plot, including one that was an unconscious reference to the MCU ’s zest.
- According to these reports, this very idea has seemingly been a prioritized one given all the casting rumors about Tarantino’s film.
Quentin Tarantino’s career was supposed to be concluded with an epic tenth film pretty soon, but now it’s all obscure again since the proclaimed director dashed it all to pieces canceling his upcoming movie.
Numerous speculations about the never-happening project’s creation process and its plot have never stopped circulating ever since the news broke, but one recently emerged detail will surely absorb everyone’s attention again — mostly due to the fact that it looks pretty much similar to what the MCU has been up to recently.
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s thorough investigation, Tarantino initially had at least four different ideas for his final film The Movie Critic — starting from the one that would focus on real-life movie critic Pauline Kael and then going to the expansion of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s universe by telling the story of Cliff Booth portrayed by Brad Pitt.
Eventually, the director came up with another, crazier idea that would’ve potentially worked out pretty well giving his fixed idea of making his final touch in the industry as perfect as possible.
A Meta Tarantino Movie?
According to reports, the final Tarantino movie’s idea was to create some kind of “goodbye meta-verse” inside The Movie Critic with all the most notable characters that appeared in the director’s earlier films.
Such a plot twist could’ve indeed turned into a nod to Tarantino’s directorial career from himself — this way he would’ve created a real “movie inside a movie” reuniting all the stars of his previous works for either reprising their iconic roles or just portraying new fictional characters.
If the idea had indeed made it to become Tarantino’s tenth film, it would’ve also been some kind of funny reference to Marvel’s superhero movies famous for their multiverse storylines that reunite characters from different dimensions.
Rumors have it that the meta-verse twist was considered pretty seriously by the director himself — many of his movies’ stars like John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Olivia Wilde, Margot Robbie, Jamie Foxx, David Krumholtz and obviously Brad Pitt were reported to be reprising their previous roles for the movie that apparently wasn’t good enough to mark Tarantino’s final touch in the cinema.
