Actor Alan Ritchson, known for his role in 'Reacher,' has expressed interest in playing Solid Snake in a potential live-action adaptation of the video game 'Metal Gear Solid.' Ritchson shared an image on social media, suggesting his enthusiasm for the role.
The film adaptation has been in development since 2006, with Oscar Isaac announced as Solid Snake in 2020. However, production has not yet started, leaving the casting uncertain.
