According to an exclusive report from Deadline, actor Oscar Isaac is set to take on the role of the iconic Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid live-action movie adaptation. Issac, known for his role of Poe Dameron in Star Wars, even expressed his interest to portray Snake last year in an interview. It seems like he will actually get the coveted role.

Regarding the movie, not much is known, other than it will be directed by Jordan Vogt-Robets, director of Kong: Skull Island, overt MGS fan and even made a cameo in Death Stranding. Additionally, the script will apparently be written by Derek Connolly while Avi Arad will be producing.

How the movie adaptation will fit in the MGS video game timeline hasn't been revealed but we could start to get more details following this news.

Why not DAVID HAYTER?

So who's playing the hopelessly OP Mary Sue female lead that'll leave him gathering dust in the background?

Spare a thought for poor Oscar, he's not a bad actor. He did what he could to give Poe some charm, but he was beaten down by the corporate agenda and never given room to breathe in the Star Wars movies. Same problem as the prequels; bad direction. You really think the dry performance of Mace Windu was Samuel L Jackson's fault? We know he's better than that.

tbh I would prefer it to be a CGI movie in the style of Yoji Shinkawa, with David Hayter voicing Snake. The same director (Vogt-Roberts) is contemplating that route but for a series rather than a movie. So maybe we'll get that eventually after the live-action movie gets made.

I have absolutely no idea who Oscar Isaac is lol.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

That's a hard pass on this movie.

 

[the_randomizer]

Who? Never heard of him.

 

[AmandaRose]

Who? Never heard of him.

Exactly

 

[the_randomizer]

How about hire actors people actually heard of?

 

[tech3475]

I still can’t imagine anyone but Hayter saying “Kept you waiting, huh”.

 

[th3joker]

That's a horrible Snake. I'll have a CGI Kurt Russel please, put some computer goo on him like they did with Arnie in the new Terminator movie.

He was in Ex Machina and the new Star Wars movies. Also the bad guy in X-Men Apocalypse.

Karl Urban, for me. The man can be serious and suave at the same time.

Unpopular opinion: I like Dredd.

 

[White_Raven_X]

Really? FFS! He's not even close to the looks.

Honestly, I'd rather see someone like Christian Bale. Or Hugh Jackman.
