âSquid Gameâ creator says Leonardo DiCaprio would be his pick for US version
âSquid Gameâ director Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed that if a U.S. remake of the hit Netflix series were to happen, he would cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead.
In a video released Tuesday on Vanity Fairâs YouTube channel, Hwang appeared alongside cast members Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Kang Ae-sim, Yim Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon and Jo Yu-ri to play a lighthearted quiz game about one another.
During the segment, Hwang asked who he would cast as the lead if âSquid Gameâ were remade in the United States. Lee Byung-hun suggested Adam Sandler, but it was Yim Si-wan who correctly guessed Leonardo DiCaprio.
âWe had a lot of rumors about him â will he be a cameo and such,â Hwang said, alluding to ongoing fan speculation about DiCaprioâs involvement.
Yim followed up by asking whether DiCaprio would be cast as the mysterious Front Man or as a player. Hwang replied, âIf he were to do it, I think he would do well as a player. Lately heâs gotten good at loser roles like Gi-hunâs.â
The director also addressed circulating reports from some foreign media that a U.S. spinoff titled âSquid Game: Americaâ is scheduled to begin filming in December, with acclaimed director David Fincher (âSe7en,â âFight Clubâ) reportedly attached. Hwang denied the rumors but added, âIf I were officially asked, Iâd seriously consider it.â
The Netflix original âSquid Gameâ became a global phenomenon after its release in 2021, earning multiple Emmy Awards and critical acclaim. DiCaprio, a known fan of international cinema, previously made headlines after being spotted at a Netflix event where he praised the series.
