Mantis (2025)

The secret society of contract killers falls into chaos, unleashing a new breed of assassins. With old rules in ruins, who dares claim the shadows?

Spin-off Surprise: Mantis is a spin-off from the 2023 Netflix film Kill Boksoon, set in the same universe of contract killers. The film shifts the focus to other assassins within the MK Ent. organization.
Dual-Wielding Origins: The main character, Han-ul, gets his "Mantis" nickname from his fighting style, which involves dual-wielding scythes. This technique was taught to him by Dok-go, who also uses dual-wielding weapons.
Director's Debut: Mantis marks the feature directorial debut for Lee Tae-sung. He co-wrote the script with Byun Sung-hyun, who directed Kill Boksoon.
A Cameo from the Past: Jeon Do-yeon reprises her role as Gil Bok-soon from the original Kill Boksoon film, making a cameo appearance in Mantis.
Hidden Chemistry: Some fans have noted a subtle, unacknowledged chemistry between Han-ul and the character Yang Soo-min, who remains loyal to him throughout the film.
