Without spilling heavy spoilers from “Squid Game” season three, there was a high-profile cameo in the massively popular Korean genre-bending series as Australian actress Cate Blanchett had a brief appearance (shot in Los Angeles) that sparked speculation she’d carry over to David Fincher‘s English-language spinoff.
However, when the “Black Bag” actress recently spoke to Variety about her participation in the final run of episodes, Blanchett revealed that she doesn’t know anything about a reunion with her “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” director on the Netflix spinoff.

“I am wildly open to anything,” Blanchett told the trade. “And in a world that is so beautifully, magically created like that, for sure. They’re amazing world-builders, and that series has been eaten alive. I don’t think there’s a corner of the globe that it hasn’t touched in some way…I mean, I’d love to work with David again. It’s been ages. But no, I don’t know anything more than you do. I’m not being coy. I really don’t.”
Blancett has been recently musing on the idea of potentially retiring from acting, but who knows if she’ll ultimately follow through with that. Then again, she is chipping away with new projects such as Jim Jarmusch‘s family drama”Father Mother Sister Brother” (debuted at the Venice Film Festival) and is currently shooting the Zeller Brothers‘ sci-fi comedy “Alpha Gang” about aliens arriving on Earth co-starring with Chris Pine, Dave Bautista, Lea Seydoux, Lily-Rose Depp, Adria Arjona, and Doona Bae.
Concerning Fincher, he is currently shooting his new Cliff Booth follow-up film starring Brad Pitt (first reported by The Playlist) that further explores the world of Quentin Tarantino‘s “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” by jumping into the 1970s.
