Warner Bros’ long-in-the-works Metal Gear Solid movie finally seems to be heading in the right direction; Deadline reports that Oscar Isaac – most recently seen on the big screen as Star Wars’ Poe Dameron – has been cast as iconic lead Solid Snake.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts, director of Kings of Summer and Kong: Skull Island (and a self-professed Metal Gear Solid fan) will continue to helm the project, having been attached to the movie for quite some time – he was initially bought onboard by Warner Bros back in 2014.
