Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a project shrouded in mystery, especially if it will follow up on the original game’s level of wackiness and complexity. Fans should expect nothing less from this sequel since it is directed and written by the one and only Hideo Kojima. The renowned director might take it to the next level by introducing a new batch of characters played by iconic actors.
Kojima has made plenty of friends in his career outside the video game industry, and some of these high-profile friends have granted him the courtesy of lending their likeness to his projects. Some eagle-eyed fans deduced that one actor could appear in the highly anticipated sequel, but there is a chance that it might be for another project entirely.
Timothee Chalamet Might Not Appear in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
The gaming community is eager to see where Sam Porter Bridges and his friends will go next in the Death Stranding sequel, and chances are they will meet a handful of new supporting characters and antagonists. It is no secret that Kojima is a popular man, and established connections and friendships in different industries. These guests often pose for a picture with the Ludens statue outside their offices. These pictures suggest that whoever paid a visit will likely appear in whatever Kojima is actively working on.
One celebrity who kicked the hornets’ nest was Timothee Chalamet, who was seen visiting Kojima Productions not too long ago. Chalamet is a gamer and could have been invited to see what the developers are working on then Kojima offered him a quick cameo, or the studio asked to borrow his likeness. While all of these are likely, there is a slim chance that Chalamet could have been there to seal the deal and work with the studio for their next project: Physint.
Details about Hideo Kojima’s upcoming PlayStation exclusive are under lock and key. Chances are he is working on it simultaneously with other games like the Death Stranding sequel and OD. Kojima loves to work with actors commonly seen on the big screen, and he might have picked Chalamet as the lead of this ambitious new IP.
Timothee Chalamet Could Be the Star of Kojima’s Next Big Project
The line between actors working on Hollywood projects and video games is becoming blurrier than ever. Kojima wanted to bring worlds together through Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and this potential casting could continue that philosophy. There is a slim chance of Chalamet appearing in the upcoming sequel, which could have paved the way for him to secure his seat for this new IP.
Nevertheless, watching talented actors guided and directed into Kojima’s unique vision is always a treat. Other actors like Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and Mads Mikkelsen praised Kojima’s work ethic from the original Death Stranding, which could bleed over to future projects and beyond.
