<p>The highly anticipated third and final season of the global hit <i>Squid Game</i> has finally premiered on Netflix. Famous for its dark twists and turns, the series continues to grip audiences with its intense premise, following 456 players who compete in a secretive competition facing deadly challenges for a massive cash prize.<i> Squid Game</i> stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, and Lee Byung-hun in the lead.</p><h2>Hwang Dong-hyuk talks about the ending</h2><p>Speaking with<i> The Guardian</i>, showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk shared his thoughts: "The world, as I observe it, has less hope. I wanted to explore questions like, ‘What is the very last resort of humankind? And do we have the will to give future generations something better?' After watching all three seasons, I hope we can each ask ourselves, ‘How much humanity do I have left in me?’”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He added, “People like a happy ending. I'm like that too. But some stories, by nature, can't have one. If you try to force one, the essence is compromised. If a story is holding up a mirror to something, then it's not always a happy ending. Squid Game is no exception.”</p><h2>Lead actor Lee Jung-jae shares his thoughts</h2><p>Lee Jung-jae, who plays the lead, also commented, “The finale was something even I didn't expect. So I'm sure a lot of fans will not see it coming. I think a lot of people will have different reactions. It's definitely going to spur a lot of conversation.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“People have been so curious. A lot of them come to me asking for spoilers. I keep telling them that if you want to have fun watching season three, you just have to hold still. It's coming,” he concluded.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hopefully, the show delivers on its promises. <i>Squid Game</i> Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.</p>

The highly anticipated third and final season of the global hit Squid Game has finally premiered on Netflix. Famous for its dark twists and turns, the series continues to grip audiences with its intense premise, following 456 players who compete in a secretive competition facing deadly challenges for a massive cash prize. Squid Game stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, and Lee Byung-hun in the lead. Hwang Dong-hyuk talks about the ending Speaking with The Guardian, showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk shared his thoughts: "The world, as I observe it, has less hope. I wanted to explore questions like, ‘What is the very last resort of humankind? And do we have the will to give future generations something better?' After watching all three seasons, I hope we can each ask ourselves, ‘How much humanity do I have left in me?’” He added, “People like a happy ending. I'm like that too. But some stories, by nature, can't have one. If you try to force one, the essence is compromised. If a story is holding up a mirror to something, then it's not always a happy ending. Squid Game is no exception.” Lead actor Lee Jung-jae shares his thoughts Lee Jung-jae, who plays the lead, also commented, “The finale was something even I didn't expect. So I'm sure a lot of fans will not see it coming. I think a lot of people will have different reactions. It's definitely going to spur a lot of conversation.” “People have been so curious. A lot of them come to me asking for spoilers. I keep telling them that if you want to have fun watching season three, you just have to hold still. It's coming,” he concluded. Hopefully, the show delivers on its promises. Squid Game Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.

Hollywood actress Rachel Zegler might be entering Broadway with her latest project EVITA. This comes after the box office debacle of Disney's live-action remake Snow White. 

Disney's live-action remake Snow White featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot bombed at the box office, due to the backlash for the film and several controversies surrounding the duo stars. Post its release, the film was one of the most negatively received ones. After the debacle and all the bad views, seems like the actress is now getting her fair share of praise with her latest project Evita, which is being performed at the London Palladium this past week. Now there are reports that she might be appearing at Broadway. Rachel Zegler to work in Broadway? According to reports, Rachel Zegler who is currently part of Jamie Lloyd's new production EVITA, might be moving from West End to Broadway. Reports suggest that the EVITA is eyeing a London-to-Broadway transfer. In a rare move, posters were going up in New York promoting the London production of EVITA, outside the theatre of Jamie Lloyd’s current Lloyd Webber revival, Sunset Boulevard.

World War 3 on screen:  8 movies that feel too real right now

<p>James Gunn is gearing up for the release of <i>Superman</i>, the first big screen entry of the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU), and in a recent interview he talked about how fans will ask him if there is a chance that many of the cancelled DCEU, the DCU's predecessor, projects have a chance of getting greenlit. One such project that was announced and cancelled a long time back was Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro's <i>Justice League: Dark</i>. The movie focuses on a team of superheroes who battle supernatural threats that the Justice League is not equipped to handle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rumours of the project first surfaced online in 2012, and that the film would introduce iconic DC heroes like the Swamp Thing, John Constantine, the Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, Zatara, Sargon the Sorcerer, and Etrigan as the founding members of the team. But despite Del Toro finishing the script, the project got stuck in production hell, and no new updates have been shared since 2023.</p><h2>Gunn says del Toro never expressed interest directly</h2><p>Speaking to <i>Entertainment Weekly,</i> Gunn was asked about del Toro's <i>Justice League: Dark movie</i>, to which he replied, “I love Guillermo, and we own a movie theatre together. By the way, Guillermo's never said that to me. I hear all these things about, 'Guillermo would love to do Justice League Dark.' Well, Guillermo's never said that to me. 'Just let Steven Spielberg do his Blackhawks movie that he wants to do!' Steven Spielberg, who I love above anyone else, has never said that to me. So these things get blown out of proportion.” So the ball might be in del Toro’s court, but it seems unlikely that his version of the project will ever be made.</p><h2>Ideas can be misinterpreted, says Gunn</h2><p>Gunn also addressed how sometimes, when directors share their ideas about projects with fans, they tend to get blown out of proportion.
