'Mantis' Trailer Previews High-Stakes Rivalries to Be No. 1 Contract Killer - Premieres September 26
Netflix has unveiled the main trailer and key art for its upcoming action film Mantis, releasing on September 26. In a world where the rules of contract killing have completely collapsed, the film promises a brutal showdown among a compelling ensemble of killers, each determined to claim the coveted No. 1 spot.
The story follows Han-ul (Yim Si-wan), also known as the titular "Mantis," an elite killer returning from a long hiatus to find his former company, MK Entertainment, in crisis. Seizing the moment, Han-ul decides to start anew with his own "Mantis Company." He teams up with his former fellow trainee and rival, Jae-yi (Park Gyu-young), whose ambition and competitiveness add unpredictability to their partnership. The two, who previously appeared together as Player 333 and Pink Guard No. 11 in Squid Game, reunite on Netflix screens, showing their dynamic in an adrenaline-fueled setting. Meanwhile, Dokgo (Jo Woo-jin), a legendary retired assassin and Han-ul's former mentor, emerges to stake his claim as CEO of MK Entertainment, setting up a tense triangle of shifting alliances and rivalries.
The main trailer sets the tone for what's to come, spotlighting visually striking, rhythm-driven action and the tense competition among the three leads. Han-ul and Jae-yi's new venture is tested by mistrust and the ever-present danger of betrayal; Dokgo's reemergence only raises the stakes. To complicate matters further, Benjamin (Choi Hyun-wook) - an investor and CEO of an action gaming company - recognizes Jae-yi's talent and challenges her loyalty to Han-ul, making her question her own motivations. As each character's desire to become the top killer intensifies, the story unfolds with twists, confrontations, and mind games.
Mantis stands out for its stylish action, layered character chemistry, and the pursuit of the top spot in a world where survival depends on wit, skill, and the willingness to outplay every rival. Directed by debuting director Lee Tae-sung, the film premieres exclusively on Netflix on September 26.
