It’s as baffling as a first round with Psycho Mantis as to why the “Metal Gear Solid” film has been stuck in development hell. The video game series practically bubbles with so much cinematic scope, with entries feeling like a mish-mash of “Escape from New York” and a 007 movie. Nevertheless, an adaptation that’s been in the works may have taken another hit following the news from Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman that Oscar Isaac abandoned plans to lead the “Metal Gear Solid” movie he’d been attached to since 2020. Unfortunately, in the four years since, no progression appears to have been made which made it understandable why he parted ways.

Factoring this in, there is no telling whether Ackles’ name could find a place on the potential replacement list. For the past few years, Ackles’ presence has risen following his lengthy stint in “Supernatural” and then getting a great jolt in “The Boys” as Soldier Boy. That role saw him as a war-torn “hero” with traits that could easily fall into Snake’s signature characteristics of a bitter product of war. Who knows? With Isaac stepping away and Vogt-Roberts presumably trying to turn the gears again, Ackles might be another fan casting that actually becomes a reality.
