![]() Pros: It would definitely get a lot of press, and he and Vogt-Roberts could share large beard anecdotes. He is now 62 but still pretty hench, playing Mark Wahlberg’s dad in last year’s Daddy’s Home 2. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, released in 1990, features an in-game portrait of Snake, based on actor Mel Gibson, who was then one of the biggest stars in the world. ![]() Biehn is now 61, but still in good enough nick that he puts out a few straight-to-DVD films a year, usually playing some kind of worn-out sheriff type figure hitting baddies with a stick.Ĭons: He’s not got a huge amount of box-office draw these days, plus his name is “Mr Biehn”, like the clumsy near-mute slapstick character, which could confuse audiences. Hideo Kojima wasn’t personally involved in this decision, but it certainly didn’t hurt, did it - the series became enormous. The first Metal Gear game came out in 1987, and the packaging designers based Solid Snake’s face on that of Michael Biehn, Kyle Reese from Terminator. A number of actors have been mentioned over the years in association with the character, but how likely are any of them to take the role on? And how good would they be? Michael Biehn Who could possibly play Solid Snake though? He’s one of the most beloved, iconic characters in gaming, a grizzled badass influenced by loads of Kojima’s favourite films. One of the reasons it’s taken so long to get to this point is how involved Kojima (and Konami, the company that own the property) insist on being: while a lot of game-to-film adaptations just involve names and rights being handed over, Kojima is rightly protective of his creation, and in Vogt-Roberts has found someone he’s happy to collaborate with.
