This is an expanded adaptation of the universe of Extraction - a globally famous action film brand starring Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth, produced by the Russo brothers.
Previously, actors Ma Dong Seok and Lee Jin Wook confirmed their participation in this project. Lisa's presence added an anticipated cast.
While parts 1 and 2 of Extraction, released in 2010 and 2023, have made the series the main action brand of Netflix, this third part will take place separately, focusing on a new main character and plot.
Extraction: Tigo will be directed by director Lee Sang Yong, who was successful with the action film series The Outlaws 3 and The Outlaws 3. The film script was written by actor and screenwriter Cha Woo Jin.
In the film, Ma Dong Seok plays Tigo, a mercenary who sets out on a dangerous mission to rescue a kidnapped colleague.
Not only was Ma Dong Seok involved in the development of the original plot, and his production company, Big Punch Pictures, also co-produced.
Lee Jin Wook will take on the role of Ma Dong Seok's opponent, promising to create tense confrontations and eye-catching action scenes.
For Lisa, this will be the second role in her acting career. Earlier this year, Lisa debuted as an actress in HBO's hit series "The White Lotus 3".
Last month, the Blackpink member attracted attention when she signed a contract with talent management company Hollywood WME to represent her in acting activities.
The news of Lisa participating in a new action blockbuster has made fans very excited. However, the singer's fans also expressed concern because one of the project's main actors, Lee Jin Wook, was accused of sexual assault in 2016.
Although Lee Jin Wook has been found not guilty, the woman accused him of being sentenced to 8 months in prison and 2 years of probation for slander. But many people are still skeptical about Lee Jin Wook, because the case was reversed in court many times from 2016 to 2018 with different judges.
Fans are afraid that Lisa's image will be affected when Lee Jin Wook participates in the project. Lisa started out as a Kpop idol, so such scandals are a sensitive issue in idol culture.
On the other hand, although Ma Dong Seok is a famous Korean action star, the recently released fantasy superhero film "Twelve" due to his starring role, participating in production and scriptwriting has failed miserably. Many opinions said that Ma Dong Seok's form is declining.
