Netflix's 'Praying Mantis' Unveils Stills Featuring Im Si-wan, Park Gyu-young, Jo Woo-jin, and More Stellar Cast
Netflix's upcoming film 'Praying Mantis' has released stills showcasing its ensemble cast, heightening anticipation for the action flick.
'Praying Mantis' is set in the cutthroat world of contract killing, where all rules have been broken. The film follows the intense rivalry between an elite killer, known as 'Praying Mantis,' his trainee and competitor 'Jae-yi,' and the legendary retired killer 'Dokgo,' as they vie for the top spot.
Jeon Bae-soo takes on the role of Bae-soo, the head of a small-scale assassination company where Jae-yi is employed. Despite his killer profession, he exudes a warm demeanor, and his deep connection with Jae-yi is evident. He feels grateful to Jae-yi for staying with the struggling company.
The film also introduces the unique employees of 'Praying Mantis Company,' founded by Han-wool and Jae-yi. Bae Kang-hee, who made a mark with her portrayal of young Lee Sa-ra in Netflix's 'The Glory,' plays the loyal maknae Soo-min. Hwang Sung-bin, known for his distinct performances in 'Adamas' and 'Try: We Become Miracles,' portrays Pumbbai, who often finds himself in an unfairly disadvantaged position.
Adding to the cast is Yoo Soo-bin, who gained recognition from dramas like 'Crash Landing on You' and Netflix's 'Weak Hero Class 2.' He plays Dong-young, who persuades Han-wool that the current chaos in the killer world presents a prime opportunity to launch a new company. Furthermore, Choi Hyun-wook embodies Benjamin, the young CEO of the gaming company 'Meta Software.' With his flamboyant fashion and hairstyle, Benjamin epitomizes the 'young and rich' tech entrepreneur. He is set to amplify the tension by exploiting Jae-yi's deep-seated inferiority complex.
The dynamic performances of these actors, each bringing their distinct charm, are expected to add layers of enjoyment to 'Praying Mantis.' The film promises stylish and thrilling action from rising killers within an intriguing world, coupled with unique chemistry. 'Praying Mantis' is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on September 26th.
