Cate Blanchett is Not Yet Confirmed to Be the Recruiter, But it Seems Likely

Her Cameo Has Sparked a Discussion About this Possible Spinoff

After meeting Gi-hun’s daughter and giving her the news of her father’s passing, along with a card bearing the prize money, the Front Man proceeds to leave. From his car, he sees an innocuous game of ddakji being played in a Los Angeles alleyway. This leads to Cate Blanchett revealing her face as a recruiter who operates in the United States and is obviously targeting potential recruits for an overseas version of the games.

While this may make it seem that Cate Blanchett is the obvious pick for a recruiter in Squid Game USA, the truth is that this fact hasn’t been confirmed. It will still take a long while for a US version of Squid Game to be announced, with it being entirely possible that the person portraying the recruiter could change when this spinoff finally goes into production.

David Fincher Will Reportedly Direct the Series

His Expertise Would Make this Version of the Games More Riveting Than Ever

David Fincher is one of the most reputable directors of all time. His work on popular crime thrillers like Mindhunter and Se7en is great, with the psychological exploration of the characters being one of the most riveting parts of his work. Given that a huge part of Squid Game‘s allure was its focus on the human condition, it’s easy to see why the news of David Fincher leading a Squid Game spinoff set in America has stoked many fans.

If this is officially confirmed, then fans will love Fincher’s work on making Squid Game USA look and feel better than ever. Even fans who may be jaded by Season 3’s ending will still be intrigued by this series, giving Netflix and Fincher a second chance to see their collaborations reach a satisfying conclusion, instead of being abandoned midway.

Netflix Has Yet to Announce This Spinoff, But it’s Pretty Much Confirmed

The Universe Has a Ton of Potential

If there’s one thing that Squid Game‘s final season highlighted, it’s that fans were disappointed mainly because they felt that the series failed to live up to its potential. It’s a contentious take, but one that can be given a positive spin. What this also means is that another attempt to show the games in a fresh environment can learn from the mistakes of the first series’ run to make things as compelling as possible.

Squid Game‘s second and third seasons suffered from some unimaginative games that fans couldn’t get behind, which is not a problem that should affect an American Squid Game, where viewers will be more familiar with the children’s games that are being twisted with a killing clause. As long as the cinematography is on point, the games are entertaining, and the characters are great, Squid Game USA will flourish.

Hwang Dong-hyuk Would Love to Watch a US Squid Game

The Creator Would Love to See His World Expanded Upon

After forming the idea of Squid Game more than a decade ago, Hwang Dong-hyuk was delighted to see that Netflix took the plunge with his ambitious concept. This ended up being a major victory for the series, with fans loving the brutal series and its focus on a killing game that forces poor and desperate people to entertain the whims and fancies of rich, spoiled VIPs.

With the series drawing to a close, Dong-hyuk won’t play a direct role in later Squid Game installments for the foreseeable future. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t looking forward to seeing his brainchild expand and become a universe. This glowing endorsement will convince fans to give Squid Game USA a shot, which has all the potential to become yet another viral sensation.
