Metal Gear Solid Fan Art Casts Jensen Ackles As Solid Snake
After showing a different side to himself in The Boys, new Metal Gear Solid fan art casts Jensen Ackles as franchise hero Solid Snake. Created by Hideo Kojima, the action-thriller video game franchise generally puts players in the shoes of Solid Snake or Big Boss as they attempt to infiltrate an enemy base and discover the whereabouts of the titular superweapon. The Metal Gear Solid game franchise is comprised of seven mainline installments and 14 spin-off titles, more or less concluding with 2015's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and 2018's Metal Gear Survive after Kojima's infamous split with publisher Konami during the production of the former.
The Metal Gear Solid games have scored mostly rave reviews for its stealth mechanics, cinematic cutscenes and thematic storytelling and has sold over 58 million copies as of December 2021. With its popularity in the gaming sphere, attempts to adapt Metal Gear Solid into film has languished for well over a decade, beginning as early as 2006 when Kojima himself announced being attached to develop the project. The past few years have seen some steam gather around the potential Metal Gear Solid movie, including finding its star, though one fan has a different thought on who should lead the project.
