Top 5 Actors Who Should Play Solid Snake

Since there’s a Metal Gear Movie coming out it’s time for us to narrow down our wish list. Here's Rant Gaming's Top 5 Actors who should play Solid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear movie.

[mafiahajeri]

Is this guy joking? Nathan fillion, Patrick Wilson and Robert jr!!! Jeremy Rennes!? Lol what happened to bale or Hugh Hackman? Lol this is the worst list ever!! If Robert Downey jr was casted people would just think its tropic thunder 2. Most of them are cool actors but no way could they be SNake. This must be a joke Patrick Wilson xD

[Yi-Long]

.... would be cool.

[mafiahajeri]

Loved him in undisputed as Boyka I'm not sure though I need to see him in mullet. I'm sure about one th ing though he's a better pick then anyone on that list. Also would prefer a Brit as the pick.

@below um no Bruce Willis would be the better pick for old snake. Jeremy Rennes is a cool actor but just doesn't have the intense look you need with snake. About Robert Downey I'm assuming snake is going to be running around in a jungle with camo and everything he would ALS have to put on a voice that's hy I said tropic thunder 2(looks like you didn't get what I meant) and yea obviously he's associated with iron man and Sherlock Holmes more.

@hellsvacancy almost as absurd as people who wanted The guy from blood diamond Djimon hounsou to play kratos xD didn't know his name was Djimon xD how can a Greek guy be played by a black guy? (yes I know the voice actor is black)

[HammadTheBeast]

He's cool and all, but shouldn't be Snake. I prefer Shia Lebeouf. LOLOLOLOLLOLOL.

[knowyourstuff]

lol and this is why stupid people on the internet with no talent are not put in charge of casting for big budget movies.

[Lord_Sloth]

Umm...What? Jeremy Renner and Jeff Bridges would be great choices!

Tropic Thunder 2 and no. Robert Downy JR is more associated with Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Yeah especially since Downey Jr. didn't even look like himself in Tropic Thunder. He was dressed up as a black guy until like the last scene.

[Campy da Camper]

Actually, Jeff Bridges could seriously pull it off. Good call.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Yaeh the first person I thought of was Hugh Jackman. But I love Christian Bale and would watch anything he's in. I loved Batman. They should get Nolan as the director.

[Lord_Sloth]

OH GOD NO! KEEP NOLAN AWAY FROM MY METAL GEAR! He removes everything unrealistic.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Lol that is true. I just loved what Nolan did with Batman and I thought Inception was pretty good movie too. I don't really care who the director is as long as this movie doesn't become a joke like many other video game movies.

[ChunkyLover53]

If Bale would do the retarded Batman voice as Snake, I'd probably shoot myself.

[finbars75]

What about Michael Fassbender he would be awsome especially where he can actually act or even Sean Bean.I think there are alot of good options for this part but Im not a fan of the editors choices.Just because there big names doesntmean there good for the part.Sometimes even picking an up and comer is really the best way to go.

[Tigerfist]

Not Sean Bean! I don't Solid Snake to die during the first half of the movie.

[LackTrue4K]

Gilbert Gottfried can play as snake.
(he has that squinting that snake dose down)

[LAZL0-Panaflex]

Seeing as snake is based out of escape from new york....how about Kurt Russell??

[InTheLab]

Maybe old Snake or Kurt Russell during the Big Trouble in Little China Escape from NY years...

[Blacktric]

Robert Downey Jr.? Are you kidding me? The guy is a good actor because he usually plays narcisistic a-holes which fits his own real life personality. He will never EVER be able to pull of Solid Snake or any character from a Metal Gear game. EVER. And Nathan Fillion should stick to doing cheap Halo commercials or Break.com videos. Jeremy Renner is barely a half-decent drama actor and Patrick Wilson, although talented, wouldn't be a good fit overall (because of his looks and his previous work). The only "sane" choice in that list is Jeff Bridges.

"Downey would have so much fun with the role you’ll forget how bad video game movies were before this."

Jesus, like that is the point of a Metal Gear movie...

If they are going to choose from known actors, Christian Bale would be a good choice. Although his looks doesn't exactly match Snake's, his acting work and especially his dedication to the characters he plays (The Machinist is the best example of this) is unbelievable. Hugh Jackman has the resemblence but his previous work also doesn't really match to something like a Metal Gear movie.

Edit: Now that someone mentioned him at below, Karl Urban also looks the part.

Top 1 Actor Who Should Play Solid Snake

1.christian bale

[SPARDA_426]

i would choose Christian Bale, or Liam Neeson to play Solid Snake instead of those ridiculous choices.

[Hellsvacancy]

Will Smith will get the part

[Pieface08]

Tom cruise would be the best choice period ....

[Samus HD]

too short for it!

[LackTrue4K]

i read your comment and was like....
"what the hell is this fool talking about, the role is to short???" hahaha.....but now i get it!!!!
i needed that laugh, thanks

[Camb31691]

I don't think he is the best choice. But when I played MGS2 for the first time, I thought Cruise would make an awesome snake. I'm sure there is some one better if Hayter doesnt do it. But I would not have a problem with Cruise.

[Blukenpop]

why not David Hayter he almost looks like snake already

[DrTwinkletoes]

David Hayter wants to work on the project so there's a chance!

[Adva]

Hayter for Voice while some other guy playing the character! lol

[ElitaStorm]

David Hayter is to chubby

[TheFinalEpisode]

He could always get in shape, casting probably hasn't even begun so there's plenty of time.

[Hicken]

Kurt Russel. He's already played Snake. Twice.

[thelaughingwiseman]

I would like the guy from lost to play him, Josh Holloway

[Slugg3r]

Bale as Solid, Holloway as Liquid (if it was filmatisation of MGS1)

[Fairchild Channel F]

They need to cast an unknown actor. Then that actor is Snake, not so-in-so playing Snake.

[CaitSith]

I can't see Robert Downey Jr. playing the role. His voice wouldn't fit Solid Snake. My pick would definitely be for Hugh Jackman.

[Tzuno]

Old Snake should be played by Chuck Norris. Young Snake Hugh Jackman.

[Rampaged Death]

It has to be Hayter. It will be weird hearing another voice coming from Snakes mouth.

[snowman2149]

Hugh Jackman for Naked/Solid Snake and Liam Neeson for Big Boss!

[Tigerfist]

Jeff Bridges actually doesn't seem that bad as Old Snake.

Karl Urban for young snake peraps?

[LAZL0-Panaflex]

Christopher Walken!!

[wanieldiik]

now that you mention it, Karl Urban kind of reminds me of David Hayter. Well played, sir.

[Tigerfist]

It might seem silly, but he kind of grew on me when I saw him on Doom. Not the best movie arround but the guy seemed to have potencial.

[Psycho_Mantis]

Sean Bean as Liquid! No doubt about it. Just watch Goldeneye. Thats reason enough to have him as Liquid! The British accent, blond hair, his attitude. Everything fits. If they dont chose him then theres really something wrong. Because i cant think of anybody eles besides Sean Bean to portray Liquid.

[KMCROC54]

I see Tom Hardy as Snake, Gordon Levitt as Raiden, Tom lee Jones as Revolver Ocelot , Jeff bridges as Big snake, Aaron Paul as Hal Emmerich, Bryan Cranston as Vulcan Raven,Scarlet Johansson as Meryl Silverburgh

These are the actors i see playing key roles in this MGS movie.(jmt)

[iMpuTeD]

sean bean would actually be a perfect Liquid Snake he already has the accent and looks like him.

[one2thr]

It has to Bale, then jackman, and if we can go back in time then a younger Clint Eastwood would be the best actor to play as Snake... Period

[Slugg3r]

Nope. If we could go back in time Kurt Russel would be the perfect Snake, since he kind of already was.

[Dead_by_Dawn]

Viggo mortensen or David hayter. David hayter would a perfect snake. Not only does he kinda look like snake, but he does the actual voice. It would be awesome

[InTheLab]

Karl Urban looks like Snake...
