“Squid Game 2” co-stars Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young may star in a new action film together!
On March 29, a media outlet reported that actors Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young will star in the new Netflix film “Mantis” (literal title).
“Mantis” is known as a spin-off film of “Kill Boksoon,” an action film about the hitman industry’s legendary killer Gil Bok Soon (Jeon Do Yeon). Mantis is the stage name of the legendary killer who appeared in “Kill Boksoon” through the dialogue between characters Cha Min Kyu (Sol Kyung Gu) and Cha Min Hee (Esom).
In response to the report, a representative of Netflix shared, “‘Mantis’ is one of several projects we are reviewing in the process of finding a good project. Nothing has been decided yet.”
Im Siwan’s agency PLUM A&C also revealed their cautious stance, stating, “We are still in the stage of reviewing,” while Park Gyu Young’s agency Saram Entertainment shared, “Nothing has been decided.”
Both Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young are confirmed to star in Season 2 of Netflix’s hit series “Squid Game.” If Im Siwan and Park Gyu Young accept their casting offers, the two will be working on a new project together once again following “Squid Game 2.”
Stay tuned for more updates!
