O’Shea Jackson Jr. will appear on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, to discuss his role in the upcoming action film Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. The sequel to the 2018 heist thriller Den of Thieves sees Jackson Jr. reprising his role, this time embroiled in a globe-trotting pursuit of a notorious art thief. While the first film earned a mixed reception, it did manage to find a sizable audience, making a sequel almost inevitable.

Adding a touch of international flair to the proceedings, Lee Jung-jae, best known for his starring role in the South Korean survival drama Squid Game, will also be a guest. With Squid Game season two out now on Netflix, Jung-jae’s presence will no doubt generate some buzz.

Council, who has served his community both in the military and as a first responder, represents the kind of everyday heroism that talk shows frequently, and often effectively, highlight.
