Leonardo DiCaprio Rumored to Appear in Squid Game Season 3

Amidst swirling rumors, Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio may be making his television debut in the highly anticipated third season of Netflix's mega-hit Squid Game (오징어게임3). Reports suggest that DiCaprio has already completed filming and is set to make a surprise appearance in the upcoming season, which is expected to premiere this summer. However, details about his character remain under wraps to avoid spoilers, and Netflix has denied the rumors, stating they have no confirmation of DiCaprio's involvement.

If the rumors are true, this would mark DiCaprio's first foray into a series, as he has primarily focused on film throughout his career. The speculation raises questions about whether he could join the ranks of other Hollywood stars who have embraced Korean culture, such as Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr., both known for their strong ties to South Korea.

Tom Cruise, a prominent figure in the 'Korean Wave' (친한파), has visited South Korea 11 times, with his first visit dating back to the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. His dedication to the country is evident, as he has returned for various film promotions, including the Mission: Impossible series and Top Gun: Maverick (탑건: 매버릭).

Similarly, Robert Downey Jr. has made four visits to South Korea since his debut with Iron Man (아이언맨) in 2008, expressing his fondness for the country during press events and on social media.

As more Hollywood stars forge connections with South Korea, fans are left wondering if DiCaprio will also establish a meaningful relationship with the country through his potential role in Squid Game.
