One of the most prominenttheories aboutSquid Gameseason 2suggests thatGi-hun could become the new Front Man after defeating In-ho.

This would put him in an interesting position ahead of the Netflix show’s third and final season.

Either path would start interesting discussions about the show’s central premise.

It’s possible Gi-hun just won’t become the Front Man in this specific manner.

However, the actor’s comment doesn’t bode well for the idea overall.

Alternatively,Squid Gamecould take a more cynical approach to Gi-hun becoming the Front Man.

This would deliver a more pessimistic message, but it would fit with the Netflix series' themes.

It would start conversations about class and power, just like season 1.

And the twist of Gi-hun becoming a villain would make for an impressive and surprising follow-up.

Squid Game is a South Korean series released in 2021 about financially struggling individuals who are invited to participate in a series of children’s games. The competition offers a lucrative prize but comes with perilous consequences, as the players soon discover the lethal stakes involved in each round.

It could also occur later in the series, with Gi-hun taking the role inSquid Gameseason 3instead.

He could infiltrate the Games and kill the Front Man, adding layers to his revenge against theSquid Gamevillain.

Gi-hun could also become the Front Man under different circumstances than the Netflix Q&A’s theory suggests.

Only time will tell if Gi-hun really puts on the mask, but it’s certainly still possible.
