Oscar Isaac wants to play Snake in Metal Gear Solid movie
- Thread starter Extremely Solid
- Start date
I agree with everything but Snake being a blnk slate. He's a full character with an arc and motivation and everything.

It's hard to say what the MGS movie would even cover. My hope is an adaptation of MG1, but that's probably wishful thinking; I believe leaving Solid in the tenative title is more for branding purposes than an indication of the movie translating MGS1, or any other Solid game, but again, who knows...
Not a bad choice, he kinda looks like a young Michael Biehn too.
+plenty of space for a thick ass bandana
Oscar Isaac is a great actor with a lot of charisma.
I have zero expectations for this movie but I would certainly be excited to see him cast as Snake. No one is going to nail Hayter's voice so they might as well go with a good actor that can deliver their own take.

He's been pushing for this film for years, trying to get Sony to green light him. No-one else is stepping up to the plate so good luck to him.
No to both of these, Gerard Butler couldn't put on the accent and has questionable acting skills and Hugh Jackman could probably do it, I just don't feel like he suits the role in my opinion.
Oscar Isaac is a great actor and the only person off the top of my head that could likely pull it off in a respectable way. Either way, the movie would be garbage. It's meant to be played (even though there are a lot of cutscenes).
The first one, nah. The second one, why? We're talking about actors here.
Oscar isaac can play princess diana and id still be ok with that. Dude has infinite cred in my eyes
What about Wyatt Russell?
Recently watched Overlord and he was great in that and he looks really similar to his dad (Kurt Russell), get Kurt Russell for big boss, it'd be a great throwback too since Snake is based on Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken from Escape from NY (even to the point that they almost got sued by canalplus but John Carpenter didn't want them to go after Metal Gear because Kojima was nice to him and he liked him).

It's a bit academic considering how this basically has barely the remotest of hopes of turning out any good, despite what I'm sure are the best of intentions from the director apparent, but I would a million times over prefer a good actor land the role than a shite one who merely looks and sounds the part. Oscar's got talent; I can't say that of many others I imagine could be offered the role.
He could DEFINITELY pull it off, one of the most exciting ideas for casting I've heard so far. From what Jordan has been saying about the script it sounds like Isaac wouldn't just be playing Solid Snake, but Big Boss as well.
Dude's a bit too short, also haven't heard his voice ever go deep like David's.
Chris Evans with a beard, yes.

I don't want a Metal Gear Solid movie because they will iron out all the batshit crazy to make it have a broader appeal.
Nah, Snake should be played by Sebastian Stan.
Hell naw. Way too baby-faced.

nah he needs to do Escape 3 as the OG inspiration, Snake Plissken.
Not sure. He doesn't have that intense and rough look that makes the character. I always thought that Jackman was a good choice:

Yeah I saw this on twitter and came to post it as it's basically perfect:
He should play Solid, Liquid and Big Boss
Now that would be a bold move
Now that's perfect casting

Oh well. It's so common at this point, it's become nothing more than white noise.
Nah dude I want the guy from the bad action movies and ROM coms instead sorry.
It would almost be amusing watching them tie themselves in knots if so many people weren't figuratively and literally threatened.
