Retroscena inaspettato
Hideo Kojima wanted to use Kurt Russell as the voice of Naked Snake instead of David Hayter, who had previously played the role of Snake in Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2. After Kurt Russel turned the role down, Hayter stated he was given the part only after re-auditioning for the role: "I had to re-audition for Metal Gear 3 to play Naked Snake...I heard that Kojima asked one of the producers on Metal Gear 3 to ask Kurt Russell if he would take over for that game. He didn't want to do it." The reason Hayter revealed this information at all was because of Kojima replacing him with Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Snake in Metal Gear Solid V.
