Get ready for Lalisa Manoban in a role you’ve never seen before. The global phenomenon, known to millions as Lisa of BLACKPINK, is diving headfirst into the world of action cinema, reportedly signing on for “Extraction: Tigo,” a thrilling new spinoff of the popular Netflix franchise starring Chris Hemsworth.
This marks a monumental career move for Lisa, who seems to have truly caught the acting bug after her debut in the third season of HBO’s acclaimed series, “The White Lotus.” Now, she’s trading drama for high-stakes action, and fans couldn’t be more excited to see her unleash her inner action hero.

”Extraction: Tigo” is poised to deliver the same adrenaline-pumping experience that made the original films a global success. At the helm is director Lee Sang-yong, a master of the action genre renowned for his work on “The Roundup” franchise. The project is a co-production, with Ma Dong-seok’s own Big Punch Pictures involved in the planning and production, ensuring an authentic and hard-hitting cinematic experience.
This role is not just Lisa’s first feature film but also her first major project since signing with the prestigious American talent agency, WME (William Morris Endeavor), signaling a clear and ambitious strategy to conquer Hollywood.
While details about her specific character are still under wraps, the prospect of Lisa sharing the screen with Ma Dong-seok in a universe known for its intense fight choreography and gripping storylines is already generating massive buzz worldwide. From commanding the stage with her powerful dance moves to commanding the screen in an action-packed blockbuster, Lisa is proving that there’s nothing she can’t do.
