The original game followed Solid Snake, a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from Foxhound, a renegade special forces unit. Isaac was recently seen in the sequel trilogy of Star Wars. He also signed onto star as Moon Knight for Marvel Studios which begins production in 2021.
