Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions’ highly anticipated title, Physint, is reportedly moving forward with its casting phase. According to a recent report from MP1st, exclusive casting details have been unearthed for the upcoming action-espionage game, which rumors suggest is currently operating under the internal codename “Shimmer.”
Leaked casting calls indicate that Mari Ueda, founder of the motion capture company Pivot Motion, is taking the helm as casting director. According to the reported documents, the studio is actively looking to fill multiple roles for a hijacked bus sequence. The passenger roster is rumored to include a mother holding a newborn, five teenagers of varying ethnicities, and two additional male passengers.
The most notable revelation from the leak is the search for a lead antagonistic figure. The casting notes reportedly describe this character as a “quiet and intense” individual who is “confident in a psychotic way.” Furthermore, the alleged role demands a mandatory German accent and cites a specific stylistic reference, asking for a calm and cold killer in the vein of “Mads Mikkelsen in ‘Hannibal’ but with flair.”
