"I'm delighted to confirm the lead role for Physint will be Bill Skarsgård,” Kojima said in a statement. "We are both long-time fans of each other's work, and we've decided to embark on this new adventure together. The costume fittings, scans, and camera tests we conducted with Bill and Charlee [Fraser] earlier this year gave me tremendous confidence in the direction of the project."
