Netflix Promises Groundbreaking VFX For It's SOLO LEVELING Live-Action Series
Netflix has reignited excitement for its upcoming live action adaptation of Solo Leveling by emphasizing that will have a world class visual effects team that promises to elevate the genre. The streaming giant claims this collaboration will set a new benchmark for live-action adaptations, addressing common criticisms of subpar CGI in anime-to-live transitions. Announced in July 2025, the Korean produced series draws from Chugong's wildly popular webtoon and manhwa, which has already spawned a successful anime run.
For the live-action, the current confirmed cast members include Byeon Woo-seok (Record of Youth, Strong Girl Nam-soon) as Sung Jin-woo and Ahn So-hee (Train to Busan) as Cha Hae-in. Additionally, K-drama star Kang You-seok (Start-Up, When Life Gives You Tangerine, Resident Playbook) will portray Jinho. Directors Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo helm the project, backed by Kakao Entertainment and Sanai Pictures. Filming kicks off in April 2026, with a rumored seven-episode format echoing Netflix's concise approach in One Piece's live-action success.
