While the format—whether a feature film or a television series—has not been disclosed, the news has already generated significant excitement within the Korean entertainment industry.
The Solo Leveling franchise has seen massive global success, with the ongoing anime and the sequel webcomic, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, expanding the universe. In the anime’s second season, Sung Jinwoo, the protagonist, continues his journey to become the strongest while battling powerful foes and striving to save his mother. Fans have been particularly impressed by the anime’s high-quality animation and captivating storyline.
