As mentioned earlier, Netflix shared a new trailer and the main poster for Parasyte: The Grey, the South Korean live-action adaptation of mangaka Hitoshi Iwaaki's Parasyte manga series, on Wednesday, March 20, 2024. It was earlier revealed that the live-action series would exclusively premiere on Netflix on April 5 this year.
The latest promotional video gives the audiences a scintillating glimpse into the world invaded by parasites and the relentless struggle of humanity against those creatures. The short clip also highlights Jeong Su-in and her strange co-existence with Heidi, a parasite.
Besides that, the video shows the intriguing conflict between the parasitic creatures and the task force "Grey" hunting them. Additionally, the trailer features Seol Kang-woo (played by Koo Kyo-hwan), who appears in front of Jeong Su-in while searching for his missing sister.
Apart from the trailer, Netflix also revealed the main visual for the Parasyte: The Grey live-action series, featuring the main characters, Jeong Su-in (Jeon So-nee), Seol Kang-woo (Koo Kyo-hwan), and the leader of The Grey (Lee Jung-hyun). The visual showcases humanity's resistance against the parasites.
Interestingly, Netflix's website has shared comments from the director, Yeong Sang-ho and the Japanese mangaka, Hitoshi Iwaaki. The director revealed that he wanted to echo the theme of "co-existence" in the work.
He questioned whether people could peacefully co-exist with these creatures. As such, he extended the Parasyte's universe to Korea.
On the other hand, Hitoshi-san also lauded the creators of the Parasyte: The Grey live-action series. He said:
"I felt that the creators of Parasyte: The Grey greatly respected the original work. At the same time, I could see unique creative branches and ideas throughout the series and enjoyed it as both the original author and as a true 'audience member.'"
He also felt that the plot development of each episode was dynamic with a quick tempo, which makes it all the more interesting.
The upcoming live-action series extends the manga's universe and explores a new narrative. The series revolves around Jeong Su-in (Jeon So-nee), who grapples with a new reality after forming a terrifying co-existence with a parasite, Heidi.
With Heidi's help, she strives to exterminate the parasites that are a threat to humanity's survival. At the same time, the narrative focuses on Team Grey's resistance, as they battle the parasites that have overtaken human bodies.
