    He'd be great for younger Snake... but Old Snake has to be Clint Eastwood :)

    I think Christian Bale has got the right frame for a young, MGS1 snake. I think Hugh Jackman would be better for a MGS2 Snake.

    I thought that Bale was already in talks about taking on the role of Snake. he would be pretty good, he got the gruff voice for it and the build.

    What about David Hayter? He already looks like snake, plus he IS the voice.

    @Adrenelad: david hayter did not want to play snake in the movie for some reason, while he should by all means, christian bale i believe has been selected for snake or at least has said that he wants to.

    The thing is, fans are so used to the voice, so they would expect hayter, but at the same, i take back that he looks like snake, he doesn't really. The best solution is for the movie to be animated (with ashley wood's tone/manga style), or just like the game except only cutscenes, or use hugh jackman, but the whole movie has to be in cel-shaded graphics (kinda like the mirror's edge videogame or the team fortress 2 videogame) with david hayter VOICING OVER hugh jackman. By the way, I think that if they were to make  a Kingdom Come movie that it should be real time filming, with cel-shaded graphics put over it.

    David Hayter actually has stated that he'd like the MGS movie to be animated so he could do the voice. He even submitted a script for it but it got turned down (FFFFUUUU)

    I think Hugh Jackman is to big to play Snake. Solid Snake is more lean than muscly; I'd be A-OK with Bale.
