According to Deadline, Lee Byung-Hun (Mr. Sunshine, The Match), the Frontman in Squid Game, teased some new information about the third and final season of the Korean hit series and a potential spinoff during his debut on the Tonight Show.
Jimmy Fallon asked whether Frontman will get a spinoff, and Byung-Hun affirmed using the show’s voting buttons. Still, he followed up and said that “There is a possibility we’ll never know what happens,” via Deadline.
The Frontman plays a key role in seasons two and three as Seong Gi-Hun, the show’s protagonist aka Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), fights to put an end to the murder of hundreds of people for the craze of the VIPs, Deadline notes.
During the third season, the narrative continues from the season two cliffhanger and Gi-hun grapples with the loss of his closest ally Jung-bae, as well as the impact of the Frontman invading the rebellion as a player. The third season returns to Netflix on June 27.
Byung-Hun stated that he had no idea whether or not the show would be a hit. “When I first read the script, it was a very interesting story with a very unique structure but at the same time it was experimental so I thought either it’d be a huge hit or a complete flop,” he said, via Deadline.
Additionally, he revealed that he didn’t inform those close to him that he was in the show; “Netflix asked me to keep it as a secret so I didn’t say it to anyone, my close friends or my mom. One day after Squid Game opened and yelled at me and said ‘How could you not tell me?’” Deadline reports.
Aside from his long career in South Korea, Byung-Hun appeared in several Hollywood movies, such as playing T-1000 in Terminator Genisys, Storm Shadow in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and its sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Billy Rocks in The Magnificent Seven, and starring alongside Bruce Willis (Die Hard, The Sixth Sense) in Red 2, as mentioned by Deadline.
He talked about his surprise about the fans’ reactions; “Squid Game is a Korean story by a Korean director with Korean actors and Korean language so when I first came to L.A. and New York for Squid Game, I was so shocked by the fans’ reaction. I’m so proud of it,” Deadline states.
Deadline adds that if Director Hwang (Silenced, Miss Granny) would like to do it, a Frontman spinoff would be the newest addition to the Squid Game universe. Furthermore, David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) is developing a U.S. remake of the series.
