“Squid Game,” one of Netflix’s most popular series, has just released the official trailer for season 2.
“Squid Game 2” brings back familiar faces from season 1 such as player number 456 Gi Hoon (Lee Jung Jae), “Front Man” (Lee Byung Hun), “Front Man” brother Hwang Joon Ho (Wi Ha Joon), and “Invitation Man” (Gong Yoo).
In addition, there is also the participation of a new cast of notable actors such as Im Siwan, Choi Seung Hyun (T.O.P), Park Sung Hoon, Yang Dong Geun, Kang Ae Shim, Jo Yuri...
But recently, the audience discovered a shocking detail, which was the moment Lee Byung Hun appeared as a player, while the mysterious man "Front Man" was the one controlling the game in part 1.
On social networks, audiences debated and made many speculations.
Some people think that “Front Man” plays a player in part 2 to increase the drama of the game, similar to the character of old man Oh Il Nam - player 001 in part 1. He is the “final boss”, the creator of this deadly game, but intentionally participates in the game as the first player.
In addition, some viewers also speculate that the scene with Lee Byung Hun as a player is just a flashback to the past.
Previously, the final episodes of season 1 revealed that “Front Man” was the missing brother that police officer Hwang Joon Ho was looking for. “Front Man”’s real name is Hwang In Ho, a former police officer and also one of the winners of the game created by Oh Il Nam. However, season 1 did not reveal the reason why In Ho became “Front Man”.
Recently, at the first global promotional event for “Squid Game 2” in Lucca, Italy, screenwriter and director Hwang Dong Hyuk said that revenge will appear in the highly anticipated second part of “Squid Game”, promising a larger cast of characters and more exciting challenges than part 1.
With the success of season 1 of “Squid Game” in 2021, Hwang Dong Hyuk won the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, while Lee Jung Jae won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
Both are the first Asians to win these titles and the first to win the award for a non-English-language television series.
Currently, “Squid Game” part 3 is in post-production.
In addition, Deadline reported that American director David Fincher, who made the 1999 hit "Fight Club", is making an English version of "Squid Game" for Netflix.
