A rumor and a mistake almost had me believing that YouTube streamer Kai Cenat was a character inSquid Gameseason 2. With all the new characters introduced inSquid Gameseason 2, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable that a masked guard could possibly be played by a prominent streamer. Stranger cameos have happened, like whenDaniel Craig provided the voice of a stormtrooperinThe Force Awakens. The masked guards with shapes on their helmets are as recognizable a style as the green jumpsuits inSquid Game.
Kai Cenat Was Incorrectly Credited As Guard 44 In Squid Game Season 2
There was an internet rumor going around for a while that claimed Kai Cenat would be playing a character called “Guard 44” inSquid Gameseason 2. These claims mostly came fromTikTokand, for the most part, were pushed by Kai Cenat himself. The videos showed a Google page with Kai Cenat listed as “Guard 44”. Cenat reacted to these screenshots on@kai_cenatsaying,
“Wait, y’all didn’t know? Wait, I thought I told y’all. Yes, na, I was Guard #44, I was [the] na [that] was [getting] dumped over the steps. I did not get shot.”
It’s now clear that Cenat was just playing along with the hoax, as not only does he not appear in the show, butthere is also no character called “Guard 44”. The numbered guards in the show have occasionally done more than stand in the background, but they have been few and far between, Guard 11 being a notable example.
Squid Game Season 2’s Breakout Character Is A Reminder Of How Badly Sweet Home Wasted Park Gyu-young
Park Gyu-young’s Kang No-eul was one of the best new characters in Squid Game season 2, and that reminded me of how badly Sweet Home wasted her.
Cenat was just joking around with his stream in the manner in which he usually does, playing up a rumor as true. This would have been quite the historic cameo in the show. A Korean production,the series has never featured a cameo from a Western celebrity in its entire history.
Squid Game Season 3 Will Release In 2025
Kai Cenat Still Has A Chance To Play A Guard
Squid Gameis coming back for season 3, and it will be the last season of the show, according to the showrunner, Hwang Dong-hyuk.The release date is set for August 08, 2025, a very quick turnaround for the series, considering the three years between seasons 1 and 2. Most of the main cast should be returning, with only a few major characters killed off at the end of season 2.
Squid Gameseason 3 is set to be an explosive finale between Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Who knows, maybe Kai Cenat will be popping in as Guard 44 in one of the season 3Squid Gameepisodes as well.
