Netflix is back in the news with the announcement of the third season of ' Squid Game '. However, amidst the enthusiasm of fans, news emerged that Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio will appear in the series.
On January 1, 2025, OSEN reported that DiCaprio had completed secret filming for a small role in the third season. The news immediately garnered attention, given the popularity of the series and DiCaprio's huge reputation as an Oscar-winning actor.
Unfortunately, Netflix quickly denied the rumors. As reported by Soompi, an official Netflix representative stated that the reports were completely baseless and there were no plans for DiCaprio's involvement in 'Squid Game'.
However, this rumor has heated up discussions on social media, especially after the warm interaction between DiCaprio and Squid Game lead actor Lee Jung Jae at the 2021 LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles. During the event, Lee even mentioned DiCaprio as an American actor he would like to see in the series.
'Squid Game' director Hwang Dong Hyuk also joked in 2022 about potentially offering the role to DiCaprio, who is known to be a big fan of the series. However, that seems to be just speculation that is now confirmed to not be happening.
Amidst the rumors, Netflix released an official teaser poster for the third season of the series on January 1, 2025. The poster features the iconic robot Young-hee, known from the game 'Red Light, Green Light', and a new character named Cheolsu, who briefly appeared in the post-credit scene of season two.
Cheolsu's presence is eye-catching, especially since this character has a background that refers to Korean textbooks from the 70s and 80s. Although his role in the story is still under wraps, many fans are already curious about Cheolsu's involvement in the upcoming deadly game.
Meanwhile, 'Squid Game' season two has recorded an extraordinary achievement. This season, which was released on December 26, 2024, managed to attract 68 million viewers in its first week, making it the best debut series in Netflix history. In fact, the second season surpassed the popularity of other series such as 'Wednesday'.
The second season presents the revenge story of Gi-hun, who returns to the deadly game with the aim of taking down the Front Man. With a new, more intense game, this season has managed to captivate the attention of global audiences. The third season of 'Squid Game' is scheduled to air in the second half of 2025.
Although story details are still being kept under wraps, director Hwang Dong Hyuk revealed that this season will present a darker, more emotional story, but still wrapped in the series' signature satirical humor. With all the excitement that has been created, loyal fans of 'Squid Game' are now just waiting for the time to return to witness the world of games full of intrigue and tension.
