Bill Skarsgård Explains Why Starring in Hideo Kojima’s Physint Is a ‘Big Deal’ for Him

In September 2026, Hollywood’s resident horror icon Bill Skarsgård was confirmed to play the lead role in Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated action-espionage project Physint.

This game marks a long-awaited return to form from Kojima as fans pine for another Metal Gear-style experience. And while much about it is still unknown, we got just a smidge more information about the project thanks to its leading man, Bill Skarsgård.

Skarsgård opened up about the game in a November 5 episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, where he revealed that he’s a massive fan of the Metal Gear series and shared a conversation he had with Kojima regarding his love for cinema.

“That’s a big deal for me,” he said. “Specifically, the Metal Gear Solid games. I played every single [one], at least the ones on [console] platform. Starting from the one on PlayStation 1 all the way to the last one. I was very enamored by [Kojima], the mythology and the universes he creates, but also the sort of mystique and allure about him, as well.

“I was really into it growing up. He is an auteur, but he’s a video game auteur. He’s fluent in filmmaking, and film, and cinema. I think at this point, I remember at one point way back, 20 years ago, there was talk of a Metal Gear solid movie. ‘Is Hideo going to direct it? ’ At this point, what he’s doing is inventing a new medium. It is film. It’s eight hours worth of narrative, but it’s also an entire universe that you play.
