'Squid Game' season 3 teaser reveals a deadly new game and the return of Player 456

The first look at Squid Game’s final season is here, and it’s anything but subtle. Netflix dropped the teaser for season 3 on 6 May, confirming the show’s return on 27 June, and the short clip already has fans bracing for impact. The teaser doesn’t just reintroduce the deadly games, it throws viewers back into the chaos with new dangers, high emotions and unsettling surprises.

Seong Gi-hun, the original Player 456, is back but not by choice. Season 2 ended with his failed attempt to take down the games from the outside, and now he’s dragged back inside, waking up inside a coffin surrounded by masked guards. His fight isn't just about survival anymore. It’s personal. He wants to bring it all down.

Charli XCX to star in and produce new horror film by 'Audition' director Takashi Miike

Charli XCX is shifting gears once again, but this time into the twisted world of cult Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike. The British pop star will both star in and produce Miike’s upcoming feature, her second project under her newly launched production company, Studio365.

Known for pushing limits in cinema, Miike has built a reputation over the last three decades for his dark, genre-bending films like Audition (1999) and Ichi the Killer (2001). While the title and plot of this new collaboration haven’t been made public, Miike’s signature style mix of horror and shock suggests audiences should expect something intense. The script is being written by Ross Evans, with Yumiko Aoyagi co-writing. Evans is also behind How to Save a Marriage, which is in development with Robert Pattinson as producer.

Geraldine Viswanathan steals the spotlight in Marvel’s 'Thunderbolts' after Ayo Edebiri's exit

Geraldine Viswanathan’s path to Thunderbolts didn’t start with a blockbuster audition or a lifelong dream to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It began with oddball comedy gigs, local theatre, and stand-up sets at uni bars. From small parts in quirky Australian productions to sharing the screen with John Cena in Blockers, Viswanathan quietly built her Hollywood résumé until Marvel called.

When the offer for Thunderbolts came, she wasn’t gunning for the spotlight. In fact, she got the call while sick in bed. Director Jake Schreier pitched her the role of Mel, a sharp, loyal assistant to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s scheming Valentina Fontaine. It was a role vacated by Ayo Edebiri, and Viswanathan stepped in with zero superhero baggage.
