The Extraction universe has never been short of star power, and its casting department clearly has no intention of taking a breather. From Chris Hemsworth bringing bruised, battle-hardened charisma to Tyler Rake to David Harbour adding moral complications as Gaspar, the franchise has assembled quite the formidable roster. Idris Elba arrived with mysterious-man-in-charge energy, while Pierce Brosnan is gearing up to bring his James Bond pedigree to Extraction 3.

Now, Tygo is adding a fresh dose of Korean talent to the action-packed mix, with BLACKPINK's Lisa trading fiery dance moves for dialogue delivered under considerably more dangerous circumstances.

Meet the cast of Tygo

Don Lee as Tai Go (Tygo): A former child soldier turned elite mercenary, Don Lee is back to punching his way through trouble, this time with revenge on the menu.

Lisa as Ria: BLACKPINK's Lisa trades dazzling choreography for deadly combat as Tygo's fiercely loyal mercenary partner, whose kidnapping turns the mission into a personal bloodbath.

Lee Jin-wook as Arman Choi: The Sweet Home star steps into the villain's shoes as a ruthless crime boss who makes the mistake of kidnapping the wrong woman.

Sullivan Stapleton as Damian Scott: The Strike Back star brings his battle-tested action credentials to the role of a gritty operative navigating the dangerous mercenary world.

Alex O'Loughlin as Steve McGarrett: The Hawaii Five-0 star swaps island crime-solving for a high-stakes Korean action operation as the iconic tactical leader.

Orli Shuka as Viktor: The The Gentlemen actor joins the criminal underworld as another heavy hitter ready to make Tygo's mission considerably more complicated.

Lisa may be busy charming audiences in a rom-com, but Tygo has her trading heart eyes for high-stakes missions alongside a formidable cast.

Tygo's intriguing setup

Of course, all that star power needs a suitably dangerous playground. Tygo follows Don Lee as a former child soldier turned elite mercenary whose carefully honed survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when a crucial operation spirals spectacularly out of control. When his trusted partner Lia (or Ria), the closest thing he has to family, is abducted by a ruthless criminal syndicate, the mission becomes deeply personal.

What follows is a brutal rescue mission through the treacherous underbelly of South Korea, with Tygo taking on an entire criminal network to bring his partner home alive. Between Don Lee's bone-crunching action credentials, Lisa's formidable new role, and Lee Jin-wook's villainous turn, Tygo is shaping up to be one explosive addition to the Extraction universe.
