Why is he interested in Snake's original voice actor?

Director Vogt-Roberts of the Metal Gear Solid movie appeared on the Animal Talking virtual talk show and unveiled some interesting details.

While on the show, he revealed that he already had the right voice actor in mind for Snake: David Hayter. He has been voicing Solid Snake on Sony's PlayStation ever since the first installment of Metal Gear Solid.

However, Kiefer Sutherland replaced David Hayter in voicing Snake in the latest mainline installment of the series called Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Hayter has confirmed that after being replaced, he would love to reprise the part. And if Vogt-Roberts approached him about it, the actor would most likely be on board for the role.

Nonetheless, fans of the Metal Gear series should be patient as Vogt-Roberts is currently making a Metal Gear Solid live-action film.

It's been six years since the director began working on the film, and he's said it was hard to get it done. That is why Metal Gear fans shouldn't get too excited too soon. Skeptics shouldn't worry about the director's passion for the Metal Gear series.

During the talk show, a photo was shown that revealed Vogt-Roberts' Metal Gear arm tattoo. For a long time, there hasn't been much coverage on the Metal Gear Solid show which has left fans of the series hungry for any coverage they can find.

The show has been on something of a hiatus for the last few years. This suspension is because the founder of the show Hideo Kojima quit Konami as the publisher. The show had a spin-off named Metal Gear Survive released in 2018 after Kojima left. It was not a mainline installment, and it was viewed negatively by fans.

Konami seems to have abandoned the development of any big games. They have recently concentrated on porting games and publishing mobile games. So whatever is next for the Metal Gear series is unknown.
