Fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise already know that Derek Connolly has a massive undertaking ahead of him in the creation of this script. The Metal Gear mythology is one of the densest in the entire pantheon of video game stories, and it is arguably impossible to fit everything from a single game into a single movie. Jordan Vogt-Roberts has already stated that the film won't be a direct adaptation of any one game, which means Connolly now has to dive into the world of Solid Snake and Big Boss in order to figure out a version of the story that sets up all of the essentials while remaining true to the source material.
