“Squid Game” stars Im Si-wan and Park Gyu-young are back on Netflix together — this time as deadly rivals — in the adrenaline-charged film “Mantis,” which premieres September 26.
Netflix unveiled the trailer and key art for the action thriller, giving fans a first look at the duo’s reunion. Im Si-wan plays Han-ul, a legendary assassin nicknamed the “Mantis,” who returns from a long hiatus to find his former agency, MK Entertainment, in chaos. Determined to chart his own course, Han-ul launches the “Mantis Company.”
Player 333 vs. Pink Guard No. 11
By his side — and sometimes in his way — is Jae-yi, portrayed by Park Gyu-young, his former trainee and competitive peer. Their chemistry, first seen when they appeared as Player 333 and Pink Guard No. 11 in “Squid Game,” now fuels a new story of ambition and betrayal.
“Mantis” is set in the same universe as the 2023 action film “Kill Boksoon,” starring Jeon Do-Yeon.
The trailer teases pulse-pounding, rhythm-driven action as alliances shift and trust frays. Adding tension is Dokgo (Jo Woo-jin), Han-ul’s retired mentor, who resurfaces to vie for control of MK Entertainment. Meanwhile, Benjamin (Choi Hyun-wook), a charismatic investor and gaming CEO, tests Jae-yi’s loyalty to Han-ul with tempting offers. As their battle for the top spot heats up, the plot unravels with unexpected twists, tense showdowns, and psychological games.
Directed by newcomer Lee Tae-sung, “Mantis” blends razor-sharp fight choreography, stylish visuals, and layered character drama. With survival hinging on cunning and precision, the film raises the stakes for everyone chasing the coveted No. 1 spot in the assassin world.
“Mantis,” featuring Im Si-wan and Park Gyu-young, streams exclusively on Netflix starting September 26.
