In a A recent interview with Jimi KimmelCharlize Theron pointed to Uma Thurman as one of her favorite action heroes. She particularly respected Thurman for her performance in the films "Kill Bill", where she played Beatrix Kido, Aka The Bride, Aka Black Mamba. With the murder in the triple digits and the unusual ability to miss the eyes of her enemies, Beatrix is ​​one of the coolest, the toughest action heroes of the mid-2000s and all time.

"When I got into the world of actions, she was really, for me, like, Sensei. She was OG," Charlize Theron told Thurman. When Kimmel asked her if she thought that Thurman had to win an Oscar for playing Beatrix, Theron replied: "100% (...) What he did in that film was so amazing, and for me, she's just that bad. So because I was in movies, I'm like" Who I wanted to work with and I did. "

Therefore, Thurman was particularly excited (and pointed out) to work with Thurman for her new film "Old Custodian 2", which falls on Netflix on July 2, 2025. Trailer for the movie It shows that the image of Uma Thurman is not only frightening, but will be a fight with a sword with the image of Theron at least once.

"I was definitely intimidated by her," Kimmel mentioned. "Especially when Given appeared, one sword was given, and we worked out all this sequence and she went," I think I want Two swords. ''

There are many potential reasons why Thurman was rejected Oscar for "Kill Bill". The big factor was that the films were camps of the usual Oscar winners, but perhaps the most important factor was that "Kill Bill" was divided in half. With the release of "Vol. 1" in October 2003 and "Vol. Two halves of a large movieNot two films in their place. This is not an ideal situation as far as the Academy is concerned, because who wants to award it in half a film?

When it comes to the question of which Turman's performance volume deserved Oscar most, things also become awkward: in "Volume 1", Thurman must play Beatrix in her coldest, most intense. This is that of the beginning of her pursuit of revengewhere he suffocates bad guys left and right and looks scary (and cool) like hell that does. But it is also Beatrix on her least tinted. "Volume 1", with very many jumps over time, deliberately retains a lot of information about her from the audience, to the point that we still do not know her full name.

Only with "Volume 2" the film really dives in who Beatrix is ​​like a person, and he teaches it before and after the title. This is the installment where Thurman will show his acting chops, as this is where Tarantino will accept his style of dialogue, which Tom 1 minimized. "Vom 1" Beatrix was a mysterious killing machine, while "Volume 2" feels like a completely omitted, cute person. Thurman deserved some reward for the scope of "Kill Bill", but "Volume 2" is definitely where she shone the brightest.
