Kojima Productions is reportedly on the hunt for its next big villain after recently beginning the casting process for Physint<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

MP1st<\/u><\/a> shared details about what Hideo Kojima has in mind for his next tactical espionage action game, which is allegedly being worked on under the codename \u201cShimmer,\u201d in a report published today. While most official information about the project remains under wraps, the site states motion capture company Pivot Motion, which aided on 2025\u2019s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach<\/u><\/a>, and casting director Mari Ueda are searching to fill several new roles with plans to shoot in June 2026.<\/p>\n

The most interesting of the parts touched on in the report involves a villain character with a German accent. This same character is expected to have a slim complexion and a quiet personality, with other details describing them as \u201cintense\u201d but \u201cconfident in a psychotic sort of way.\u201d One last description for the character says they are expected to be like \u201cMadds Mikkelsen in Hannibal but with flair.\u201d<\/p>\n

It all sounds very Kojima, especially considering the Metal Gear Solid game developer previously worked with Mikkelsen for the original Death Stranding. Meanwhile, other details from the alleged casting call include a mother holding a baby, five teenagers, and two male individuals. Each role is said to revolve around some sort of bus hijacking incident, though details about how it may all tie together were not shared.<\/p>\n

The man behind Metal Gear Solid teased in December 2025 that 2026 would see the team begin \u201ccasting actors, scanning, and performance capture shoots.\u201d The first phase of that process allegedly began recently, though it\u2019s worth noting that at least some major roles were filled months ago.<\/p>\n
