New Bus Scene in Kojima’s Next Game Sparks Casting Buzz

A fresh cast call for the upcoming game Physint has surfaced, hinting that developers are crafting a scene reminiscent of the thriller film Speed. The call, announced by MP1st on April 12, confirms that a bus hijack will be part of the narrative.

• Casting Director: Mari Ueda
• Roles Wanted:
• A mother with her newborn
• Five teens
• A German man (intense, oddly confident – a nod to Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal)

It remains unclear whether these characters will appear in a single scene or influence the main plot. If the latter, it would signal that Hideo Kojima is paying homage to Speed, a film he frequently references.

Current Status

• First Mentioned: January 2024 State of Play
• Release Timeline: Still far from launch
• Confirmed Actors: Don Lee, Charlee Fraser, Minami Hamabe

The new call underscores ongoing talent recruitment and adds intrigue to the game’s limited public details. Fans eagerly await how Kojima will weave cinematic elements into Physint’s storyline.
