Cody Rhodes Reveals Movie Adaptation He Would 'Do Anything' To Join The Cast

When asked if there was a video game or comic character he would love to play in a film, The American Nightmare said, “I feel like I’m slightly aging out of some of the characters that I really like, but it would always be anything in Metal Gear Solid, and I would take anything in Metal Gear Solid."

When it was put to Rhodes whether he would play a heroic or villainous role should he be cast in a MGS picture, the former Legacy member answered, “Like, if you need me to learn Russian and do Revolver Ocelot, I would do it. If you just put the hood on me I’d do Cyborg Ninja. So I would do anything in Metal Gear Solid."

In addition to his public flexing for a role in a MGS film, Rhodes also revealed that his entrance attire for this year's WrestleMania main event against John Cena was also inspired by the video game franchise.

“The helmet I wore at WrestleMania was supposed to open up like Cyborg Ninja’s and it more opened up like Tony Stark’s," The American Nightmare shared with ComicBook.

A big screen version of Metal Gear has been in development for a considerable amount of time already. At one point, Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year) was attached to play Silver Snake, although the Emmy and Golden Globe winner has since departed the project.

Rhodes' appearance at the Epic Universe will no doubt set tongues wagging about his return to the WWE ring, where he has not been seen since dropping the WWE Title to John Cena at WrestleMania 41. It has been reported this week that a major WWE show in Mexico is being planned, which Rhodes is tentatively set to headline.
