Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid directorHideo Kojimahas made his love for the recent Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga no secret,calling the film his Bible and its director his God. Now, Kojima has spread the love to an actor who he “could only see” as Metal Gear’s Solid Snake.
A Metal Gear Solid film was in development at one point,with its director teasing a “new type of action"for the espionage flick, but our last update on the project came two years ago whenOscar Isaac, the actor once attached to Snake, said the team was still “looking for the story.“If production ever kicks back up, at least we know which actor has Kojima’s blessing to step into the role.
The Mad Max game lead has hit back at Furiosa’s director and his “complete arrogance” over the open-world romp, while blaming Metal Gear Solid 5’s close launch as a factor for bad sales.
