As we eagerly wait for the release of season three of Squid Game, our minds are consumed with endless possibilities of what the next installment could bring. The second series, which dropped on Netflix last week, left us on the edge of our seats with a chilling cliffhanger. We are dying to know where Seong Gi-hun's rollercoaster journey in the games will take him next.
While we anxiously await any details about the upcoming season, there has been some buzz surrounding a surprising casting rumor involving none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. Social media exploded with speculation that the Hollywood heartthrob, aged 50, would be making an appearance in the final series of the gripping drama. Reports from a South Korean publication claimed that DiCaprio secretly filmed scenes for the show last year, with all details kept under wraps to avoid any spoilers.
According to the outlet, the actor's screen time may be short, but fans were still excited at the thought of him joining the cast. However, a spokesperson for Netflix quickly put an end to the rumors, stating that they were completely false and that DiCaprio's involvement in the show was unfounded.
It's unclear where these rumors originated from, but the idea of DiCaprio randomly showing up to participate in the games has captured the attention of fans. The show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, had previously joked about the possibility of a Hollywood star making a cameo in the series, mentioning the Oscar-winner as a potential candidate. However, he confirmed that the second season would still take place in Korea and that there were no plans for a known Hollywood actor to join the cast. But he did add, "maybe in Season 3, if the stage changes."
In an interview at the SAG Awards, Lee Jung-jae, who won the best actor trophy for his role as Gi-hun in the first season, also expressed his desire to work with DiCaprio. The second season of Squid Game, which was released on Netflix on Boxing Day, has already broken records on the streaming platform. It reached the top spot in 92 countries and is the most-watched series globally, with over 68 million total views and 487 million hours watched.
The final episodes of the show are set to premiere sometime this year, although a specific release date has not been announced yet. The series creator has promised that the fierce clash between Gi-hun and the Front Man will continue into the finale of Season 3. As we eagerly await the next installment, we can only imagine what new challenges and twists the show will bring to the contestants.
