“MY JAWS DROPPED”: Fans lost their minds after the surprise Cate Blanchett cameo in Squid Game Season 3

Squid Game Season 3, the final part of the worldwide popular series, will premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2025. The season, starring Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Im Si-wan, and others, continues Seong Gi-hun's quest for survival in more dangerous games.

Episode 1 "Keys and Knives" features a brutal game of hide-and-seek, a foiled rebellion, and escalating player anxiety. Jun-ho, unaware of a traitor among his ranks, conducts his undercover investigation in the meantime.

Cate Blanchett's stunning performance in the Squid Game Season 3 finale suggests a global expansion of the deadly games. Her appearance as a recruiter in Los Angeles hints at more spin-offs. Fans were taken aback, and her previous work with David Fincher raises the possibility of an international adaptation of the series.

More about Cate Blanchett's cameo in Squid Game Season 3

Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett made an unexpected cameo in the season three finale of Squid Game, and the actress has won awards for her roles in movies like Tár and Blue Jasmine. She gives the series conclusion a startling twist with her brief appearance.

She makes a brief appearance following the passing of Lee Jung-jae's character, Seong Gi-hun. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with stunned reactions after Cate Blanchett’s shocking cameo in Squid Game Season 3. One fan wrote:

"MY JAWS DROPPED??? MOTHER?? IN MY GAME OF SQUIDS?"

Some other reactions include:

"Is this fr? Global remake?"

"Omg 😱 I did not see this coming wow the gag of the century !! I love love cate and she looks amazing and that suit"

the only good thing about the season"

The remarks express a mix of surprise, appreciation, and curiosity. Many people couldn't believe Cate Blanchett was a part of the Squid Game universe, calling her cameo memorable.

In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), the Front Man, goes to Los Angeles to see Gi-hun's daughter. After telling her of her father's death, he gives her the remainder of his winnings and personal items, including his recognizable green tracksuit from the games.

As In-ho drives away, he notices the familiar sound of ddakji, a Korean paper-flipping game intended to attract participants. Curious, he comes to a stop and observes from a distance. In a quiet alley, a well-dressed woman plays a game with a man. When she looks up, it’s noticed that the actress is Cate Blanchett. Without saying anything, she returns to the game, leaving the audience shocked.

Blanchett looks to be playing a recruiter, similar to Gong Yoo's character from prior seasons, and her unique presence, particularly in the United States, indicates that the Squid Game has spread beyond Korea and is now operating globally. This brief but impactful moment gives up several possibilities for the franchise's future direction.

Blanchett's appearance may be a preview for future spin-offs, even if Squid Game Season 3 has been announced as the series conclusion. There have been rumors about a potential David Fincher-directed new English-language television show set in the Squid Game world. The fact that Blanchett and Fincher have already collaborated adds interest to this relationship.
