KPop Demon Hunters might have taken over the world, but the co-directors of the Netflix hit aren't keen on the idea of a live-action remake.

While KPop Demon Hunters was racking up views on the streamer, a report claimed that Netflix was considering everything from a trilogy to a stage show, and a live-action remake. But, co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans aren't convinced by the idea.

KPop Demon Hunters isn't just Netflix's biggest film ever, but with a massive 325.1 million views, it's the biggest Netflix release ever full stop – dethroning Squid Game season 1, which held the crown for four years with its 265.2 million views.
