Speaking of the Netflix show ending and Blanchett’s cameo, Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed to the media portal, “We shot our parts separately with just a camera going back and forth. In the end, we parted ways without even saying hi.”
He added, “I actually saw her practicing it for quite a while on set.”
The actor continued to say, “The game in Korea ended (spoiler) with Gi-hun’s sacrifice, but I wanted to show that the game was still ongoing elsewhere and that the world had not changed that much. We wanted to say: this isn’t really over. Plus, if it was totally wrapped up, our fans would be sad, and we wouldn’t have a reason to come back.”
