Plans to bring Matt Damon onto 'Infinity Challenge' falls apart

Matt Damon will not be appearing on 'Infinity Challenge'.

Although previous reports stated that the Hollywood actor would be coming onto the show when Matt Damon comes to Korea on the 8th, plans ultimately fell apart. He was planned to appear in the 'Infinity Company' action blockbuster special. The PD of 'Infinity Challenge' said, "In March, we were contacted by the agency about Matt Damon appearing on the show. We'd talked about him appearing in the special, and we'd even finished the script. However, perhaps it's that Matt Damon himself wasn't notified fully of the details. Last week, we were told that he couldn't act or do action on the show. We didn't have that much time to prepare."

The PD added, "After we heard that he couldn't do either action or acting, the article that he would be appearing on the show was released. It'll probably be difficult for him to be on the show because we can't prepare another item for him to match the viewers' anticipation."
