Cliff Booth is ready for his new adventure.
Brad Pitt transformed into his “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” character in the first set photos from the sequel to the 2019 film.
Pitt, 61, donned a shaggy blond wig and a mustache while filming “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” at Los Angeles’ New Beverly Cinema on Monday night.
The venue is owned by Quentin Tarantino, who directed the first film and is writing the script for the sequel, which is being helmed by David Fincher.
Pitt also looked the part of his stuntman character in vintage clothes, including a buttoned yellow camp shirt that he wore over a white tee with graphics on it. He also had on blue jeans.
Earlier in the day, Pitt was photographed in a blue shirt and light blue jeans while arriving to New Beverly Cinema for the first day of shooting the sequel.
In “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Pitt starred as the stuntman for Hollywood actor Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who is not expected to be in the sequel.
The original film, which is set in 1969 Los Angeles, also starred Margot Robbie, Margaret Qualley, Timothy Olyphant, Austin Butler, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, Bruce Dern, Al Pacino, Julia Butters and Luke Perry.
At the 2020 Oscars, Pitt won the Academy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor for his role as Cliff. The film also won Best Production Design and was nominated for eight other awards.
“This really is about Quentin Tarantino. You are original. You are one of a kind,” Pitt said in his acceptance speech. “The film industry would be a much drier place without you and I love the ethos you gave Cliff Booth.”
The “F1” star also said about DiCaprio: “Leo, I’ll ride on your coattails any day, man.”
In April, news broke that the sequel to “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” was being made at Netflix.
The follow-up film will reportedly follow Pitt’s Cliff in his new role as a Hollywood fixer.
Scott Caan, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino and Yahya Abdul-Mateen have also been announced as cast members.
“This film is more secretive than Star Wars,” a source told The Hollywood Reporter in May about the sequel.
“The Adventures of Cliff Booth” does not have a release date yet.
