According to Collider, the long-anticipated Solo Leveling film adaptation has received a meaningful production update a full year after it was first announced, with the formation of a new anime film distribution venture called ANIMEC poised to bring a slate of anime movies — potentially including Solo Leveling — to global audiences.
Why This Is a Big Deal for Fancasters
Solo Leveling is one of the most beloved manhwa-turned-anime properties on the planet, and its fanbase has been hungry for a live-action or theatrical anime film since the moment the series exploded in popularity. The story of Sung Jinwoo — the weakest hunter who quietly becomes the most terrifyingly powerful being alive — is tailor-made for a cinematic treatment. Whether the film ends up being an animated theatrical feature or a live-action adaptation, the central question is the same: who plays Jinwoo?
That casting decision alone is enough to set fan communities on fire. And with no official cast attached yet, this is exactly the kind of wide-open creative moment that myCast was built for. The supporting roster matters just as much — Cha Hae-In, Choi Jong-In, Woo Jin-chul, and the rest of the S-Rank hunters all need faces. Fans of other anime adaptations like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen have already gone deep on dream casts for those properties, and Solo Leveling deserves the same treatment.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't been waiting around. Across three active fan-cast stories, voters have been staking their claims — and some clear patterns are already emerging.
The most decisive signal comes from the Solo Leveling story, where Song Kang has dominated the Sung Jinwoo vote with 13 out of 14 total votes cast. That's a near-unanimous mandate. It's easy to see the logic: Song Kang's quiet intensity and physical presence in projects like Sweet Home and My Demon map convincingly onto Jinwoo's brooding, understated power.
Over in the more expansive Solo Leveling story — which covers an impressive 105 roles — the conversation gets more interesting. Soobin of TXT picks up 4 votes for Jinwoo, showing that some fans are thinking beyond established actors and imagining a younger, idol-adjacent energy for the role. , fresh off his breakout in Lovely Runner, also earns a vote here and another in the , suggesting his star power is translating into fancasting momentum in real time. For the female leads, grabs 4 votes for Jung Yerim, while lands 3 votes for Cha Hae-In. In the third story, gets a nod for Chae Hae-In — a choice that feels almost obvious once you picture it. Meanwhile, earns a vote for Choi Jong-In, and picks up support for Jinwoo as well, rounding out a genuinely diverse field of contenders.
