Metal Gear Solid movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has revealed he wants to bring back David Hayter to voice Snake in an animat꧙ed Metal Gear Solid series.

Speaking on , Vogt-Roberts announced that he’s “trying tꦅo get an animated series going that brings back David Hayter, that brings back the original voice cast, and doing that in tandem [with the MGS movie].”

Hayter, who was replaced as the voice of Snake by Kiefer Sutherland in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metal Geaജr Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, is seen by many as the definitive voice for the iconic character, though hasn’t voiced the character in an official capacity since 2010’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

‘In tandem’, of course, means see🦩mingly releasing alongside a Metal Gear Solid movie that’s struggleꦓd to get off the ground in recent years.

It’s not quite Fission Mailed for the MGS movie, though director Vogt-Roberts has admitted it’s been tough trying to get the adaptation of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima’s seminal game made.

“I’ve been on that m🦩ov🍷ie for six years and I’ve been fighting every single day to make sure that we translate that movie properly,” Vogt-Roberts said.

Vogt-Roberts continued: "This is my baby. I've bee꧟n workౠing on this thing for six years, trying to make it so it is the disruptive, punk-rock, true to Metal Gear, true to Kojima-san spirit version of what this is and I will continue to fight for it every day.”

"It's a difficult thing. Getting any movie made in Hollywood is hard. Getting some⭕thing like Metal Gear made where it is so complex is even harder. That's why I'm trying to make it for a budget where you can do crazy shit, where y🅘ou can do the Metal Gear version of it, where it isn't neutered."

The director, who also directed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kong: Skull Island, even revealed during the An⛎imal Crossing chat show that Kojima gave him a short, snappy piece of advice when it comes to making the Metal Gear Solid movie: “Betr💃ay your audience."

It’s clear that, despite ༒the troubles the Metal Gear Solid movie (and animated series) has had so far in getting greenlit, Vogt-Roberts has an undeniable love for the franchise and for Kojima. That’s evidenced by his desire to bring back the OG Big Boss, David Hayter. Here’s hoping one day he can show the rest of the world what makes Metal Gear so special on screens both big and small.
