8 Actors Who Could Totally Play Snake in a Metal Gear Solid Movie

Tom Hardy

While certainly more on the beefy side than one would expect for a master of espionage, Hardy has shown himself capable of capturing the darker, haunted side of a character in Mad Max: Fury Road. Decisive and ruthless in a fight against the minions of Immortal Joe one minute, then stoically grieving for the loss of his family the next, he could balance out a performance of Snake wonderfully no matter what age or version they choose to put him in. Plus, thanks to his experience in the more action-heavy offerings of cinema, he could provide some truly entertaining recreations of Snake’s CQC battles with iconic villains and adversaries such as Gray Fox, Revolver Ocelot, and so many more.
