The hit show “Squid Game” is back for Season 3, and fans are excitedly buzzing. But will Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio be joining the cast? Rumors have been swirling, but Netflix has finally spoken out. They say the reports of DiCaprio’s involvement are simply not true.
The buzz surrounding Netflix’s hit series Squid Game reached new heights. It is when rumors surfaced about Leonardo DiCaprio making a cameo in the highly anticipated Season 3. Fans were left guessing after a Korean media outlet, OSEN, claimed on January 1, 2025, that the Hollywood superstar had already filmed a surprise role for the show, which is set to release this summer.
According to the report, DiCaprio’s appearance would be brief, and his character details are being kept under wraps to avoid spoilers. This news caused a frenzy online, with fans sharing their excitement. One fan even wrote on X, “Leonardo DiCaprio in Squid Game Season 3? This wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card!”
However, Netflix has now addressed these rumors. In an official statement, a Netflix representative said, “The rumors are entirely false. Stories of Leonardo DiCaprio working on Squid Game Season 3 are baseless.”
The speculation isn’t entirely out of nowhere. Back in 2022, Squid Game director Hwang Dong Hyuk mentioned in a press conference that DiCaprio was a fan of the series, jokingly adding, “Should we make him an offer?” While fans hoped this playful comment might turn into reality, Netflix has firmly denied the actor’s involvement.
Hype Is Building
Adding to the excitement for Season 3, Netflix recently revealed a teaser poster introducing a new robot character named Cheol-Su, alongside the iconic Young-Hee from the first season. This new edition has fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter of the gripping survival drama.
Season 2 of Squid Game, which premiered on December 26, 2024, broke records with 68 million views in its first week. This success further solidified its place as Netflix’s most-watched debut. With its global fanbase growing, the series continues to dominate the entertainment world.
Although the Leonardo DiCaprio cameo rumors have been debunked. Fans can still look forward to Squid Game Season 3, which promises to deliver the suspense and intensity the show is known for. The new season is set to premiere in the summer of 2025, keeping the excitement alive for fans worldwide.
