Viewers continue to speculate that the release date of season 3 of 'Squid Game' will be June 27, 2025. Fans around the world are curious about what kind of brutal game Chul-soo, who reveals a bleak energy as Young-hee, will perform in season 3.
Following the release of the special poster for Season 3 of the `Squid Game' featuring Chul-soo, rumors of Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio's appearance in `Squid Game' spread online on the same day, creating an absurd issue. One media outlet received a lot of attention when it reported that Leonardo DiCaprio had completed the filming of season 3 in secret.
In the meantime, Leonardo DiCaprio has been known as a fan of the famous 「Squid Game」 in Hollywood as well. Lee Jung-jae, who attended the 『LACMA Art + Film Gala" held at the LA County Museum of Art in 2021, took a photo with Leonardo DiCaprio and released it. In a red carpet interview the following year, Lee Jung-jae, who won the Best Actor Award for 『Squid Game』 at the American Actors Guild Awards (SAG』, pointed out Leonardo DiCaprio as an American actor who wants to appear in Season 2. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk was also told in a commemorative meeting that Leonardo DiCaprio was a fan of the `Squid Game' in a commemorative meeting shortly after winning the Emmy Award for Best Director for a TV Drama for the `Squid Game' in 2022. We used to say, 'Shall we contact (Leonardo DiCaprio) when we have a chance?'" he said.
As such, there was considerable speculation that the build-up of director Lee Jung-jae and director Hwang Dong-hyuk's Leonardo DiCaprio of 「Squid Game」 would take place in season 3, and eventually, it even fueled rumors of an appearance. However, rumors are only rumors. At other times, there was a DiCaprio in the chimney. A Netflix official said, `The story of Leonardo DiCaprio appearing in Season 3 of the Squid Game is groundless rumors"The whole story of the appearance was completely denied and ended.
