Professor Hulk is here to help deliver some scoops and information on the film and TV industry, and this week, we’re going to be talking about updates to Metal Gear Solid.
A Quick Update About Spider-Man And Last Week
Before we get to this week’s exclusive, let’s clarify last week’s. There was a lot of confusion on our Spider-Man exclusive. Due in part to our own wording, it made it seem like the Sony Spider-Man films (i.e. Morbius, Venom, etc) would remain separate from the MCU Spider-Man films.
However, it was instead supposed to mean that Tom Holland would spearhead his own Spider-Man franchise, and Miles would head up his own. Both would be produced by Marvel Studios but distributed by Sony. It’s the same setup they have now with the Tom Holland trilogy.
Back To Metal Gear
We can report that casting is continuing for Jordan Vogt-Roberts’s Metal Gear Solid film. We’ve already had Oscar Isaac cast as Solid Snake himself, and now, the rest of the cast is being rounded out.
The casting call is for a villain between 40 and 50 years old. With the studio looking for a “Bradley Cooper type”.
There are a handful of villains in the Metal Gear universe that could be drawn upon. However Oscar Isaac is 42 and in the games, Solid and Liquid Snake are roughly around the same age. This casting is hinting towards Liquid Snake.
Other possibilities include Revolver Ocelot or Grey Fox, both of which have been featured in concept art. However, the most logical choice option is Liquid Snake. His presence has been hinted at in a few pieces of concept art as well.
This could also give hints as to the plot. If Liquid Snake is appearing, alongside Gray Fox, Foxhound, Big Boss, and others; could we see an adaptation of the initial Metal Gear Solid for PS1’s story? Metal Gear Solid is an expansive universe with a lot of options for stories, so it’ll be interesting to see where casting and characters hint to storyline possibilities.

What if the film isn’t a perfect adaptation of the games but take the general story, characters and settings and tell their own story based off of the games. What if Big boss is the villain, it takes place in Zanzibar Land or Outer Heaven, and then goes into shadow Moses with ocelot and liquid
Oscar Isaac is not worthy, he might surprise but his record is not nearly compelling enough to be thee Snake
I still think they should’ve ask David hayter to play snake after all he did voice snake in the game
I’m not sure about this… I’ve been with the franchise since the NES Metal Gear and I’m concerned about the storyline being lost if a 15+ hour cutscene heavy game into 2 – 3 hours. And we have no word on Ocelot? A movie without him would be pointless, given the huge impact him and Big Boss actually had on the story.
I’m giving it the benefit of a doubt, but I’m not sure I’m going to enjoy this. Wouldn’t this being a series make more sense..?
This movie needs Kojima. He knows the story inside and out, without him this movie will be doomed, chopped up into a movie like Resident Evil. Hire Kojima!
“Could we see an adaptation of the initial Metal Gear Solid story for ps1?” If they dont follow the storyline just throw this away. Dont try to pull some Resident Evil movie bullshit. If this is made I’d better see every character from Solid, Fox, Ocelot down to the Dsrpa Chief and Secoy Octopus. Make it a series if anything, but dont waste kurt time with a half ass MGS1 story. Get Kojima to help, I’m sure hed be more then happy to.
