Ma Dongseok, Lee Jinwook, and Lisa to Star in Film Set in the "Extraction" Universe

Netflix’s “Taigo”
Directed by Lee Sangyong of “The Roundup”

On December 5, Netflix announced that it will produce the action film "Taigo," starring Ma Dongseok, Lee Jinwook, and Lisa.

The film shares its universe with the "Extraction" series, which stars Chris Hemsworth. The story follows Taigo, a mercenary who grew up as a war orphan, as he embarks on a life-risking rescue mission after his close friend Ria is kidnapped by a crime syndicate.

Ma Dongseok will play the role of Taigo. Lee Jinwook will portray Arman Choi, a member of the crime syndicate, while BLACKPINK's Lisa will take on the role of Ria, Taigo's friend and a member of the mission team. Lisa, who previously appeared in Season 3 of "The White Lotus," will make her debut in Korean cinema with this film. She said, "Starring in an action movie has been a longtime dream of mine," adding, "I'm thrilled to be making my film debut with such a project."

The film will be directed by Lee Sangyong, known for "The Roundup 2" and "The Roundup 3." Action direction will be handled by martial arts director Heo Myeonghaeng.

Production will be led by Big Punch Pictures, headed by Ma Dongseok, and AGBO, the studio behind the "Extraction" series. Nova Film and B&C Group will also participate as co-producers.

Angela Russo-Otstot, Chief Creative Officer of AGBO, stated, "We are excited to explore the world of Extraction from a Korean perspective," adding, "It is a pleasure to work with Ma Dongseok and director Lee Sangyong."
