Why Fans Believe Cate Blanchett Will Lead the American Squid Game
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers from Squid Game. When Cate Blanchett appeared in the final scene of Squid Game Season 3, the internet erupted. With one fierce slap and a chilling glance, she has officially set the fan theorists ablaze. The Oscar-winning actress' sudden entrance as a U.S.-based recruiter was more than just a surprise cameo—it hinted at something bigger: the possible expansion of the deadly competition onto American soil. Now, fans are convinced that Blanchett's brief but potent role was a calculated move, possibly previewing a U.S.-set spin-off with her character playing the next Recruiter. The chilling final scene that changed everything Squid Game Season 3's last moments take place far from Korea, in downtown Los Angeles. There, Cate Blanchett appears in a sharp suit, challenging a desperate man to the familiar slap-heavy game of ddakji. From a nearby car, the Front Man, In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), observes her calmly, exchanging a cryptic glance before driving away. The message is clear: the games are global, and Blanchett's character is now part of that machinery. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk told Tudum that Blanchett's casting was deliberate. 'We needed someone who could dominate the screen with just one or two words,' he explained, praising her performance as 'mesmerizing.' According to Hwang, the idea of a female recruiter added drama, and Blanchett delivered the 'unmatched charisma' they needed in a single take. What Blanchett's role means for the franchise Blanchett's character appears after the confirmed death of protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), setting up a major turning point for the franchise. With In-ho returning to power and the original games continuing abroad, fans now believe Blanchett could head an American chapter.

His words have set the internet ablaze, as fans speculate that Blanchett's Recruiter will become the face of a U.S.-based Squid Game continuation.

Scarlett Johansson teases progress on Tower of Terror film
Washington [US], June 28 (ANI): Actress Scarlett Johansson recently shared new details about the ongoing development of her 'Tower of Terror' film project, revealing the creative challenges behind adapting Disney's beloved theme park ride into a compelling movie narrative. The project, which Johansson is producing, was first announced in 2021 when Deadline confirmed that the actress would bring the spooky Disney World attraction to life. Written by Josh Cooley, the film has had a long development timeline, but Johansson is optimistic about its progress despite the difficulties involved. As per Deadline, in an interview, Johansson admitted that the project had proven more complicated than expected. "It's a hard nut to crack," she said, adding, "Harder than you think, because the ride itself, there's some lore to it, but it's... I don't want to say thin, but it is, kind of!" The Tower of Terror ride, which opened in 1994 at Disney World, is based on The Twilight Zone TV series created by Rod Serling. The attraction revolves around five guests trapped in the eerie Hollywood Tower Hotel, who take an elevator ride that sends them into the unknown when lightning strikes the building, as per Deadline. Despite the Tower of Terror's cult status as a popular theme park experience, Johansson explained that there was limited narrative material to draw from for a feature-length film. "It doesn't have so much to dig into," Johansson said of the ride's storyline, noting that the brief plot is more suited to its thematic park experience rather than a full-length movie. She said, "That's part of the mystery of the ride," acknowledging the challenge of expanding the attraction's concept into a story that could resonate on the big screen. While the Tower of Terror ride had a 1997 film adaptation starring Kirsten Dunst, the movie, written and directed by DJ MacHale, did not share any connection with The Twilight Zone. The film followed a journalist (played by Steve Guttenberg) who investigates the mysterious disappearance of five people in 1939, a storyline loosely based on the attraction. Filmed largely at the actual ride location, the movie was Disney's first attempt to adapt one of its theme park attractions, but it received mixed reviews and never reached the same level of cultural impact as the ride itself. Johansson reflected on the challenges of adapting a ride with minimal backstory, calling the project a "blue sky" endeavour. "It's been a fun project to work on, because it's a blue sky project," she said, referring to the freedom of creating something from scratch. She added, "It has also proved to be a hard nut to crack. But, we'll crack the case of it. It's taking shape!" as quoted by Deadline. (ANI)
