Physint, an upcoming game from Kojima Productions, just found its star. The game is set to be a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid, a game series Hideo Kojima famously led for many years before parting ways with Konami, which holds the rights to the IP to this day. In 2015, Kojima founded Kojima Productions to make games on his own terms, and Physint is one of those projects. It’s still in the early stages, so we don’t know much, but today the studio revealed it’s got a big name attached to the project; Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd will play the game’s lead. You can take a look at the actor being photographed for a teaser photoshoot below.<\/p>\n

Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd is best known for his role as Pennywise the clown in the most recent duology of It<\/em> movies, but also appeared as Count Orlok in 2024’s Nosferatu<\/em> and the scheming Marquis Vincent de Gramont in John Wick 4<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kojima is quoted in a press release published alongside the news<\/a>. \u201cI’m delighted to confirm the lead role for PHYSINT will be Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd,\u201d said Hideo Kojima. \u201cWe are both long-time fans of each other\u2019s work, and we’ve decided to embark on this new adventure together. The costume fittings, scans, and camera tests we conducted with Bill and Charlee earlier this year gave me tremendous confidence in the direction of the project.\u201d<\/p>\n The “Charlee” that Kojima references is Charlee Fraser (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Anyone But You<\/em>), \u00a0who was confirmed for the game alongside actors Ma Dong-seok AKA Don Lee (Train to Busan, Eternals<\/em>), and Minami Hamabe (Godzilla Minus One<\/em>) last September<\/a>.<\/p>\n
