Well, it’s finally happening. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts‘s (Kong: Skull Island) feature film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid has begun casting, with Oscar Isaac the first to sign on. Issac has been cast in the leading role of iconic character Solid Snake! It’s interesting to note that just last...

Don't see anything wrong with this!

 

[SlimySnake]

Awesome. Love him.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

I mean. Sure.

 

[Cravis]

Solid choice. I like it.

 

[bargeparty]

Nah

 

[RoboFu]

Ehh he is way too short but maybe if they use a lot of soap boxes ? Lol

 

[Javthusiast]

Solid choice. I like it.

[SCB3]

David Hayter getting screwed out of being snake again

 

[GrayFoxPL]

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Ehh he is way too short but maybe if they use a lot of soap boxes ? Lol

But he got a bigger cock than you.

 

[888]

Sure I guess.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

He's too short and he doesn't look Western/ Northern European. I'm a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid and I'm disappointed in this casting.

 

[Bryank75]

Doesn't really fit to me.

This is Snake before a hair cut and dye....

 

[mejin]

I didn't know about a movie in the series coming from Sony ... now, I have more faith in the remake coming to PS5.

 

[MiguelItUp]

He's a good actor, I can see it working out.

 

[Aggelos]

 

[Javthusiast]

Which also means he is playing Liquid.

 

[-Arcadia-]

That's... actually good casting? I mean, he doesn't look exactly like Snake, but I can picture it in my head, and it works. He also has the charisma and acting chops to drive it home.

 

[yurinka]

I think it's a good fit, I was expecting them to cast Whoopi Goldberg or similar as Snake.

 

[Dr_Salt]

Oscar Isaac is a great actor but he doesn't look anything like Solid Snake. Bad casting imo.

 

[Kuranghi]

I really hope he's also Liquid but just in a wig! That would be pretty funny.

I don't think his build or face fit much at all but his face was kinda just a mass of pixels, when in-game, in the first one anyway so I'm basing it on future games and even then its probably more important that he's actually a good actor above the other two things.

Gameplay over visuals, you know?

I just hope the voice is good and not cringe or too soft.

 

[eyesabitdull]

Bad casting until I see him in action.

Oscar is an amazing actor, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt to prove naysayers like myself wrong.

 

[vpance]

Ehh he is way too short but maybe if they use a lot of soap boxes ? Lol

Camera angles, lol. It's why Tom Cruise as an action hero has worked fine.

 

[MrS]

Just gonna be another shit game to film product. The joy of MGS is the gameplay. Keep the mediums separate. No crossover shit.

 

[Iced Arcade]

I don't see it BUT Oscar Isaac is a damn good actor.

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[kuncol02]

Oscar Isaac is a great actor but he doesn't look anything like Solid Snake. Bad casting imo.

Good enough for me.

 

[INC]

This is fine with me

But personally should of used Karl urban

 

[Nigel]

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[Batiman]

That's actually pretty perfect. He's a great actor too.

 

[Nymphae]

I can't believe there still hasn't been one undeniably awesome videogame movie, apart from the Super Mario Bros movie.

No faith in this project at all

 

[Dr_Salt]

Good enough for me.

Drawing doesn't look anything like him either.

 

[AceVader0]

This is fine with me

But personally should of used Karl urban

Fuck yeah. Although Oscar Isaac is fine for me, which is a lot since MGS is my favorite game (saga) of all time.
HOWEVER
Jordan Vogt-Roberts as director? Fuck no.
And what's even worse.
Damn Derek Connoly as writer?!?! The one who helped write Detective Pikachu, Jurassic World and RISE OF THE SKYWALKER!?!?

Shit incoming guys. SHIT INCOMING.
At this point I would just let Uwe Boll do his things, at least it would be hilarious.

 

[Javthusiast]

I can't believe there still hasn't been one undeniably awesome videogame movie, apart from the Super Mario Bros movie.

No faith in this project at all

I hope the new Mortal Kombat will be fun next year.

 

[PlayerPurple]

Not bad. Dude's a phenomenal actor and at least has the perfect chin for it:

 

[BluRayHiDef]

This is fine with me

But personally should of used Karl urban

He's too old and his face is wide relative to Snake's.

 

[OverHeat]

Perfection.gif

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The casting is excellent.

All the role requires is a grizzled, war torn stoic man in his late 30s/early 40s. Isaac fits the bill perfectly. The shape of the face is unimportant because...

And let's face it, the story + enemies are what makes Metal Gear so interesting.

 

[GymWolf]

Holy fuck.

 

[INC]

He's too old and his face is wide relative to Snake's.

Yeh you're right, I forgot snake had Guatemalan shaped face

 

[FrankWza]

He's a modern day al Pacino in godfather 2. Great actor

 

[MastaKiiLA]

He's short for the role, but from an acting perspective, this is a fucking home run. This guy can act. He should absolutely crush it as Solid Snake. If they're going to cowboy up the money to get him for the role, they better pair him with a good director and script. The supporting cast can be whatever. Just nail Otacon and Ocelot. Don't fuck this up. I'm digging the leads on Uncharted and MGS. Great choices, IMO.

EDIT: Isaac did great in the paramilitary role in both Triple Frontier and Bourne Legacy. He can definitely pull it off.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Haven't seen him in anything other than the recent SW garbage, so hopefully it's not a good example of what we can expect from him.

 

[roosnam1980]

 

[Javthusiast]

Will we get Meryl undressing in the toilet? Something tells me we aren't. xD

Also say goodbye to sexy Sniper Wolf.

 

[AJUMP23]

This is a good choice. I do want a David Hayter cameo.

 

[INC]

I can tell that dude hides a lisp, due to the underbite, like bales batman voice
