Oscar Isaac Metal Gear Solid Movie Dead?

As recently as March 2022, Oscar Isaac told IGN that the film would still happen but that filmmakers were having trouble finding the right Metal Gear Solid story to tell.

In our opinion, it shouldn’t take nearly this long to adapt a film from a game that came out way back in 1998.

Certainly, there have been some provocative sequels and prequels to the Metal Gear Solid franchise over the years, but the core premise of the first game seems quite easy to adapt: it’s the story of a covert agent taking on a series of increasingly powerful and colorful foes.

Now that it’s been a year and a half since Isaac admitted filmmakers were struggling with this very basic story, we think it’s significantly less likely this movie will ever get released.
