This would mean that, in the world of the film, villainous character Calvin Candie is not actually played by Leonardo DiCaprio, but the actor’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood character Rick Dalton.
A new meta theory doing the rounds suggests that Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained is actually a film within a film.
The latest theory states: “We have no clue as of today what happened to Dalton after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Another theory suggests that The Fourteen Fists of McCluskey – which shows Dalton playing a character who kills Nazis with a flamethrower – is actually a film inspired by the events seen in 2009 film Inglourious Basterds.
