Hitman 2' is a comic action film that takes place when a terrorist attack occurs that imitates the new webtoon that Jun (Kwon Sang-woo), who has been reduced from a big hit writer to a "brain writer" who repeats the same story in an instant, and is driven into a criminal overnight.

"Hitman 1", which was previously released in 2020, attracted 2.4 million viewers at the time, making the top 4 of the box office that year, and "Hitman 2" is also highly anticipated.

In particular, Kim Sung-oh is expected to join the new group, providing fresh laughter and fun, with the original members of Kwon Sang-woo and Jung Joon-ho, Lee Yi-kyung, Hwang Woo-seul-hye, and Lee Ji-won reunited.

On this day, director Choi introduced "Hitman 2," saying, "It's finally released, and it's Lunar New Year's Day, so it's more fun to watch with family, friends and lovers." He continued, "Unlike the first one, the second one tried to show a large scale. I wanted to show various things to see by growing the size of action, art, and animation as a whole," he added, raising expectations for the work.

Kwon Sang-woo also said, "Hitman 2 has a variety of things to see, including laughter and animation. It is a movie with many elements that can be enjoyed from children to older audiences. I hope it will be loved by many people as a movie you can watch with your family during the Lunar New Year holiday," he said.

He said, "There are many people who watched the first movie on a channel other than the theater. At that time, there were many regrets due to the overlapping COVID-19 period, but I personally thought it was a "revenge war" and went to shoot. I think I can bring joy to enough people than the first one," he added.

Director Choi Won-seop said to Kwon Sang-woo, "We will show our country's unrivaled comic action. Kwon Sang-woo can only say that he is amazing. This work was also very fun and enjoyable," he praised. There was also talk about

'Hitman3'. Director Choi said, "We made it with the series in mind from the production stage. If many people like it, I think such a day will come soon," he said, while Kwon Sang-woo also showed his will and affection for the series, saying, "We will greet you in 'Hit Man 3'.
