On the afternoon of December 26, 2024, the movie "Squid Game" released part 2, continuing the story of Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) - who gave up going to America to pursue his own goals related to the deadly game he won in part 1.
Just 2 days after its release, the film topped the charts in 93 countries, becoming the 2nd most popular series in Netflix history, behind only “Squid Game” season 1.
The thrilling ending of part 2 left audiences eagerly awaiting part 3, creating much discussion and speculation worldwide.
Most recently, a poster shared by the official Netflix UK account has caught the attention of the audience.
The poster illustration for “Squid Game 2” features iconic images from the series such as the Younghee doll, piggy bank, and silhouettes of the main characters, including contestant 222 (Kim Jun Hee/Jo Yu Ri) and contestant 333 (Myung Ki/Im Siwan).
Along with that, another poster highlights the characters Gi Hun, Frontman, and an unidentified silhouette. These images have fans theorizing about who could potentially survive in season 3.
Xports News said that many fans of the drama believe that Jun Hee and Myung Ki will survive until the end of the game. Others speculated about the identity of the short-haired figure, saying that it could be Hyun Joo (Park Sung Hoon) or Da Ho (Kang Ha Neul).
They even analyzed the cast's filming schedules to guess which character could survive the longest in this deadly game.
According to the producer, the story in part 3 of the film will feature the appearance of fugitive Kang No Eul (Park Gyu Young).
In addition, in the photo posted by Park Gyu Young on his personal Instagram 3 days ago, it can be seen that Park Gyeong Seok (Lee Jin Wook) - the character participating in the deadly survival game to earn money to treat his daughter Na Yeon's leukemia will also return in season 3.
Some people predict that Kang No Eul could be the daughter of the male lead Gi Hun. Although she has not confirmed it, according to the actress, this is a very interesting prediction that shows that viewers are interested and really want to understand the story.
In another part, the relationship between Kang No Eul and Kang Sae Byeok (a character in part 1) was also discussed, as their names have similarities as Sae Byeok means “dawn”, while No Eul means “dusk”.
“Squid Game 3” is scheduled to be released on June 27.
