Song Joong Ki is a cool pilot in new sci-fi film 'Space Sweepers'

Song Joong Ki is starring in an upcoming sci-fi movie called "Space Sweepers," set to premiere this year.

The film just dropped a short teaser, but what little was shown of the South Korean star was enough to create some buzz.

The "Descendants of the Sun" actor is playing a pilot named Tae Ho, who seems to remain cool despite being caught in a dangerous situation.

According to Soompi, the movie takes place in the year 2092, where space is scattered with junk from satellites and ships.

Space Sweepers, said to be Korea's first blockbuster set in space, is reportedly in post-production and is slated for release in the summer of 2020.
