We can&#x27;t wait to unleash its explosive energy on audiences worldwide,&quot; said Lee, known for starring in &quot;The Roundup&quot; franchise, &quot;Train to Busan&quot; and the Marvel film &quot;Eternals.&quot;Lisa, who also goes by her real name Lalisa Manobal in acting projects, said she was &quot;honored to be a part of this project and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such incredible actors.&quot;&quot;Being in an action movie has always been a dream of mine, so for my film debut to be such an exciting project feels very special,&quot; said Lisa, who previously starred in the black comedy series &quot;The White Lotus.&quot;Meanwhile, Jin-wook, star of Netflix hits &quot;Squid Game&quot; and &quot;Sweet Home,&quot; considered it &quot;a great honor&quot; to be part of the project.&quot;As a fan of the &#x27;Extraction&#x27; franchise, it&#x27;s a great honor for me to join this universe. I&#x27;m especially excited and grateful to be working with Don, whom I&#x27;ve always admired, and with Lisa as well,&quot; he said.&quot;I&#x27;ll do my very best to present a film that lives up to your expectations,&quot; he said.The film is written by Cha Woo-jin and directed by Lee Sang-yong, the filmmaker behind Don Lee&#x27;s &quot;The Roundup&quot; and &quot;The Roundup: No Way Out.&quot;&quot;TYGO&quot; is produced by Big Punch Pictures, AGBO and TGIM, and co-produced by Nova Film Inc. and B&amp;C Group, with Netflix serving as the distributor.
