'Pirates 2' January 2022 Release Unchanged... Kang Ha-neul Replaced by Sehun

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The movie 'Pirates: The Goblin's Flag' is moving forward as planned.

On the 16th, Lotte Entertainment revealed the character posters for 'Pirates: The Goblin's Flag,' expressing their determination to release the film as scheduled in January 2022.

The sequel to 'Pirates: The Bandit Who Went to the Sea,' which attracted 8.66 million viewers in 2014, 'Pirates: The Goblin's Flag' depicts the spectacular adventures of pirates who gather at sea to become the owners of the royal treasure that disappeared without a trace.

Actors Kang Ha-neul, Han Hyo-joo, Lee Kwang-soo, and Kwon Sang-woo star in the film, directed by Kim Jung-hoon, who helmed 'Petty Romance' and 'Detective: The Beginning.'

The poster features Mu-chi (Kang Ha-neul), the self-proclaimed top swordsman of Goryeo and leader of the righteous band, seemingly breaking through the screen amidst splashing water, alongside Haerang (Han Hyo-joo), the intense-eyed owner of the pirate ship.

Also catching attention are Mak-i (Lee Kwang-soo), the aspiring pirate king sprinting with a desperate expression, and the traitor Bu Heung-soo (Kwon Sang-woo), who covets the treasure. Additionally, the naturally cunning Haegum (Chae Soo-bin), the sharpshooter Han-gung (Oh Se-hoon), Mu-chi's right-hand man Gang-seop (Kim Sung-oh), and the pirate crew's strongman Agwi (Park Ji-hwan) showcase their distinctive characters.
