Most of us are familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU. And now, it seems like Korean superstar Ma Dong-seok — last seen as an Asian superhero in the 2021 Marvel movie Eternals — also has plans to create his own "MCU".

"Now, it's an expanded cinematic universe from the first instalment of the series The Outlaws. The crime has become more vicious and we also have a new villain." The first movie, based on the Heuksapa incident, was set in Garibong, Seoul, in 2004. Dong-seok shared that the second movie is different from the first, from where and when the movie is based on to the cast and tactics used to capture villains.

"As the series unfolds, we are thinking of changing the time period to make the film come closer to current times."Dong-seok revealed last month that he is already working on the third movie in the series, and the location and movie plot in each movie in the series would be different. Dong-seok, who is trained in boxing and dabbled a little in wrestling, said: "We really wanted to put judo in some scenes, so I earnestly learnt judo for this movie. To do that, I went to professional MMA fighter Kim Dong-hyun's gym to learn judo. We combined boxing, judo and self-defence martial arts for this film.

"I heard that Dong-seok's previous co-stars gained about 1kg for the shoots. I did the same, but it wasn't that easy to gain weight. I also had to maintain it because the shooting got extended."Dong-seok also shared why he decided to participate in producing the series.
