Ma Dong-seok, aka Don Lee, is back in another action-packed movie, Badland Hunters. The Netflix original film serves as the sequel to the 2023 movie Concrete Utopia, led by the Gyeongseong Creature star Park Seo-joon together with Park Bo-young, and sees the devastated Seoul after an earthquake. The streamer has now dropped its official teaser, showing the 52-year-old actor leading the fight in post-apocalyptic world.
The Badland Hunters preview begins with Don Lee looking at a board of images after the world has gone to the ruins. As a man being attacked by a crocodile calls for help, Lee appears to save him and starts an intense battle against the bad guys and what looks like a bunch of zombie soldiers.
He’s then seen with two allies as he creates a hole in the wall with his shotgun. Later in the scene, Don Lee uses his machete to decapitate the crocodile without breaking a sweat. “Man, that looks delicious,” he says. As the teaser teases, the world has come to an end, and it calls upon the hunters.

What is Badland Hunters about?

You can check the synopsis below:
Set in the same post-apocalyptic world as Concrete Utopia , Badland Hunters depicts the struggle for survival among those living in the devastated Seoul, where mere survival becomes a luxury, allegiances are volatile, and human will is tested against nature’s harshest conditions.
