Squid Game S3 Poster Teases Final War Between Player 456 And The Front Man

Last Updated:
The dark and intense new poster hints at a major standoff between the remaining players in the game and the authoritarian forces.
Actor Lee Jung Jae is returning as Player 456 one last time in the third and final season of Netflix's hit Korean show Squid Game. With just days remaining before Squid Game season 3 hits the screens on June 27, the makers dropped a new poster, and it has been sending fans into a frenzy about what's next to come in the survival thriller show.
The new poster, released on Friday, June 20, does not just hint at another round of deadly games, but at a full-blown war. The dark and intense new poster hints at a major standoff between the remaining players in the game and the authoritarian forces, seemingly set to give fans an edge-of-the-seat new season. In the caption of the post, the makers wrote, 'It's anybody's game. Pick a side. Squid Game Season 3, June 27."
On one side, we see some familiar survivors in their quintessential green tracksuits, playing the deadly games one last time. On the other side stands the Front Man, played by actor Lee Byung Hun, with his faceless guards in pink jumpsuits, who have always maintained order in the game in the most terrifying manner.

But what really caught everyone's attention on the internet was Seong Gi Hun, aka Player 456, the OG winner of Squid Game, played by Lee Jung Jae. In the poster, he was not in the usual green tracksuit, but in a black tuxedo, standing out the most among the other players. This change in his outfit had fans speculate about countless theories, with the majority thinking that he did not just enter the game for a second round but to fight back against the authoritarian figures.
If you remember, Gi Hun entered the game again in season 2 to expose the dark truth behind the Squid Game. Unfortunately, his pursuit ended in failure in season 2. Now, with season 3, fans have a renewed faith in him that he will destroy the deadly games once and for all. His costume change might be a hint that he is no longer a player, but has entered deep within the mechanics of the game.
Meanwhile, the Front Man is seen back in his original form. After secretly participating in the game in season 2, it looks like he has returned to his usual self, leading the game from behind the lens. The upcoming clash between Gi Hun and Front Man could be their most intense face-off yet, not just in terms of action, but also emotions and secrets.
The new poster also gave fans a hint at all the survivors, including Myung Gi (Im Siwan), Cho Hyun Ju (Park Sung Hoon), Geum Ja (Kang Ae Shim), Yong Sik (Yang Dong Geun), and Seon Nyeo (Chae Gook Hee), among others. Meanwhile, the mysterious pink guard played by Park Gyu Young was seen standing along with the Front Man.
