Peninsula movie cast: who’s who in Train to Busan sequel, the Korean zombie hit taking Asian box office by storm
- Peninsula follows a new set of characters in the same zombie-filled universe as that of 2016 blockbuster Train to Busan
- Kim Min-jae, Lee Jung-hyun, Gang Dong-won and teen star Lee Re are among the film’s cast of heroes and villains
Four years on from the incredible success of Train to Busan , writer-director Yeon Sang-ho returns with Peninsula , a new chapter in his apocalyptic action franchise.
While set in the same universe as the 2016 hit, in which a zombie epidemic has ravaged South Korea, his new film follows a new set of characters with their own agendas and life-threatening problems.
Civilisation as we recognise it has collapsed on the peninsula, which has descended into an urban wasteland populated by disparate pockets of survivors who eke out a meagre living while doing their best to avoid not only the roaming undead, but also gangs of violent militia.
As Hong Kong awaits the release of the film, which has already drawn audiences en masse back to cinemas in its homeland and several Asian countries, we take a look at the new roster of heroes and villains, and the actors who have brought them to life.
