Can Byeon Woo-seok lead the Solo Leveling Korean live-action series?
Source: IMDB With the explosive popularity of Solo Leveling, first as a web novel, then manhwa, and now anime—it's no surprise fans are already imagining what a live-action version might look like. Finally the internet's favourite underdog story is getting the live-action treatment, and it's coming from Korea. Yes, Solo Leveling live-action is officially in the works, and fans are buzzing over the casting—especially now that Byeon Woo-seok is tipped to lead as Sung Jin-woo. Fresh off the success of Lovely Runner, where his emotional range and broody charm won hearts worldwide, fans are asking—could he actually be the one to play Sung Jin-Woo in the upcoming Solo Leveling Korean live-action adaptation? Why Byeon Woo-seok as Sung Jin-Woo makes sense in Solo Leveling live-action Source: IMDB When you think about casting the lead in Solo Leveling, there's a tall order to fill—literally and figuratively. Sung Jin-Woo begins as the world's weakest hunter, a quiet, humble guy barely scraping by. But after a twist of fate (and one very deadly dungeon), he transforms into an unstoppable, brooding shadow monarch. That arc needs an actor who can show fragility and power. Byeon Woo-seok has already proved he can swing from soft-hearted to intense without missing a beat. Physically, he fits the bill: tall, striking, and expressive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Emotionally, he's nailed complex roles that require growth and internal conflict—exactly what Jin-Woo's journey demands. His fan base is also strong and global, which would help boost international interest in the live-action no official casting news has confirmed Woo-seok's involvement, fans across forums like Reddit and Twitter are actively rooting for it. Edits of him in Jin-Woo's all-black aesthetic are already going viral. What we know about the Solo Leveling korean live-action Source: Crunchyroll As of now, the Korean live-action version of Solo Leveling is still under wraps. While the anime's first season took the world by storm in early 2024, and a second season is underway, there's been no formal announcement about the drama adaptation's release date or cast lineup. However, South Korea's adaptation industry has picked up the pace. With shows like Sweet Home, Weak Hero Class 1, and A Business Proposal proving that webtoon-to-drama transitions work, Solo Leveling seems like the next big IP to tap into. Given the budget needed for CG-heavy action and monster battles, fans are hoping a Netflix or Disney+ scale platform is involved—which raises the stakes, and the potential for big-name casting. Final verdict: Can Byeon Woo-seok really play Sung Jin-Woo? Source: Crunchyroll Absolutely—Byeon Woo-seok has the chops, the look, and the emotional depth to take on Sung Jin-Woo. He's not just another pretty face; he's a performer who can carry a transformation arc that spans physical, mental, and supernatural growth. Of course, this is all fan speculation for now. But if casting directors are paying attention to audience voices, they should know: Woo-seok already has the fandom's vote. And judging by his recent momentum, it wouldn't be surprising if he levels up from heartthrob to hunter king. If they get it right, this could be Korea's answer to The Witcher. If not? It risks being another pretty face in an empty dungeon. Also read| How Takopi's Original Sin outpaced Solo Leveling in just three episodes

This is what Link looks like in The Legend Of Zelda live action movie
Nintendo has revealed the actors who will play Link and Princess Zelda in the live-action film, and we bet you've never heard of either of them. A live-action movie based on The Legend Of Zelda seems like something that has only a tiny chance of working, given how limited the story and characterisation is in the games and how difficult it would be to portray the gameplay experience without it just seeming like a generic fantasy film. An animated film seems like it would've been a much better choice, especially given how successful The Super Mario Bros. Movie was, but Nintendo has made its decision, and now it's locked down the two actors for the main roles. They're very young and not very experienced, but the photos you see here seem to be them in costume or at least are meant to be reminiscent of their appearance in the games. Although predictably, Link is not wearing a massively long, green hat. Link will be played by English actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who is just 16. His most notable role is in Netflix horror show The Haunting of Bly Manor, as Miles Wingrave. Princess Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason, who is 21 but doesn't even have a proper IMDB entry yet. She's also English and her main credits so far are for Renegade Nell and BBC crime drama The Jetty. That gives an indication of the sort of accents and tone Nintendo is going for, as it follows the lead of most fantasy shows, where they try to avoid obviously American accents. Of course, in the games Link never speaks, but we very much doubt that'll be the case in the film. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Ainsworth is so young that it raises the question of whether he's going to be the only Link in the film. In the classic Ocarina Of Time, you famously control Link as a child and then as a young adult, and while there's no indication the movie will be a direct adaptation, it could be looking to reference that element of the plot. Despite the series being named after her, Princess Zelda has very little screentime in most of the games, which is something that's probably going to change in the films. To the point where she'll likely come across as an entirely new character. This is the first real information we've had about the film, though, other than it's being produced by series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and former Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad. More Trending The script is being written by Derek Connolly, who worked on all three pre-Rebirth Jurassic World films, which is not an encouraging thought. The director is Maze Runner's Wes Ball, who did a decent job with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and is apparently a big fan of the games. In terms of release date, the film was originally supposed to be out in March 2027, but is now due on May 7, 2027. That's the day Avengers: Secret Wars was going to come out, until it was delayed until December. Ball has previously said that he wants to make a 'serious' but 'whimsical' film. He's also talked about it being 'grounded' and at the same time reminiscent of a live action Studio Ghibli film 'This awesome fantasy adventure movie that isn't like Lord Of The Rings, it's its own thing. I've always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that,' he said in 2023.

Israelis call for the boycott of Superman 2025 after pro-Palestine scene
Published July 16th, 2025 - 09:38 GMT ALBAWABA - Despite its massive box office success, James Gunn's Superman has been subjected to controversy over a specific scene depicting the superhero fighting to protect innocent civilians from a fictional occupation army backed by the US. The scene sparked widespread debate on social media, with pro-Palestine users and activists pointing out its resemblance to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. In response, Israelis are calling for the boycott of Superman, further describing it as "pro-Hamas and Al Jazeera propaganda." BREAKING – Israeli audiences are calling for a boycott of the new Superman film after the superhero is portrayed as standing firmly against genocide. — Middle Eastern Affairs (@Middle_Eastern0) July 16, 2025 A social media user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "I was gonna see the new Superman movie but decided to skip. If I wanted pro-Hamas propaganda, I'd just turn on Al Jazeera," following the hashtag "#boycottSupermanMovie." Ben Shapiro, a pro-Israel conservative political commentator, also shared his opinions about the movie in a 21-minute YouTube review, which received 12,000 dislikes, outnumbering the 10,000 likes. The review was flooded with YouTube users mocking the political commentator for his opinion. A YouTube user wrote in the video's comments section, "Ben would definitely say Boravia [the fictional occupation] has a right to defend itself." Another added, "Ben Shapiro disliking a film is the highest praise it could possibly receive." Superman currently sits at a respectable 7.7/10 on IMDB with over 120,000 reviews. According to IMDB, Superman has already broken even in profits after garnering $232 million worldwide in contrast to its estimated $225 million budget. Before its premiere worldwide, James Gunn told Deadline during an interview that the movie is "lighter" in some ways compared to Zack Snyder's rendition, but will also touch on heavy subjects. Additionally, Gunn revealed that he wanted to capture "the colour and the joy" of DC's classic superhero in his rendition. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
