The full process required to cast an icon hasn’t even started, but..

While participating in IGN's cast roundtable for Netflix's Triple Frontier, IGN host Max Scoville asked the star-studded lineup -- including Isaac, Pedro Pascal, Ben Affleck, Garrett Hedlund and Charlie Hunnam -- which video game-turned-film they would want to be a part of. Isaac, who is best known for his role in Star Wars as Poe Dameron, was quick to voice his interest in the Hideo Kojima classic Metal Gear Solid."Metal Gear Solid, that's the one," said Isaac. "I'm throwing my hat in for that one." You can watch this portion of the interview starting at the 12:30 minute marker below:Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is attached to direct a Metal Gear movie , and this isn't the first time Isaac's name has been suggested for the role as Snake. BossLogic took to Twitter back in August to sketch what Isaac would look like in the role, saying they chose the Star Wars actor because "he has a dope mean mug so I wanted to see how he looks."Vogt-Roberts has shared a story on his Twitter account in response to this article about how BossLogic's Oscar-Isaac-as-Snake image came to be. He shows old DMs from August 2018 specifically asking BossLogic to Photoshop Isaac as Snake, which led to the image cited above. Vogt-Roberts writes in his tweet, "The full process required to cast an icon hasn’t even started, but ... The ball’s in Oscar’s court."Isaac offered his take on why he thinks video game adaptations haven't caught on in the same way as superhero adaptations, saying, "With the video game thing, I think the trick will be how do you replicate the feeling of what it feels like to play a video game. I think where it goes wrong often is with the plots.""That's because you can't play a movie," Affleck jumped in, to which Isaac responded, "I know, but how do you get some of that feelings of what it feels like?"As for the rest of the Triple Frontier cast, Game of Thrones alum Pedro Pascal was first to say, "Yeah, I would" star in a video game movie, though his best suggestion was an adaptation of Dig Dug. "You should do a Dig Dug movie," Affleck agreed while laughing.Adria Aroja, who plays Yovanna in Triple Frontier, actually already is a part of the biggest game in the world: Fortnite. She voices Ramirez in the Epic Games title, but she had no idea when she was auditioning for Fortnite that it was going to be the global sensation that it has since become."I actually didn't know it was going to be this big," she said, adding with a laugh, "I wish I had known because I would have asked for more money!"Explaining how she came to the role, Aroja said, "I was on hiatus and I wasn't going to work for a couple of months, and I just thought it would be really exciting to experience. I never thought I would do anything like that. It was just fun, and I remember them scrambling, it was budget issues -- it was just a tiny little independent video game. That's what it felt like when we were doing it. And then to see the success of it, it's just insane."Both Affleck and Hedlund said they'd be interested in starring in a video game movie, but aren't particular about what it would be. "I don't have anything so specific as Oscar. Oscar's really angling for a job!" said Affleck, joking, "You know, I'm open. I'm open to... maybe the guy in Dragon's Lair?""I'm open as well," added the Tron: Legacy star. "Maybe Mario Kart?"Directed by J.C. Chandor, Triple Frontier stars Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund and Adria Aroja and will hit Netflix on March 13. The synopsis for the film reads: "Loyalties are tested when five former special forces operatives reunite to steal a drug lord's fortune, unleashing a chain of unintended consequences."What video game adaptations would you most like to see this cast star in?
