Metal Gear Solid Movie: Fan-Casting Every Major Role

20. The Boss - Robin Wright

Originally thought to have peaked in the phenomenal Princess Bride, Robin Wright has had one hell of a career revival as Claire Underwood in HBO's House of Cards. Tenaciously driven and with an onscreen presence that balances power with sex appeal, she'd be the perfect choice for a character as integral to the mythos as The Boss.

Being that Boss' ideologies are the linchpin for the entire franchise (duty vs. freedom), we'd need someone immediately iconic, memorable and fitting in the role.

Who knows just how much Vogt-Roberts is going to pull from MGS 3 and 4 when it comes to Naked Snake going toe to toe with his mentor, but as we also saw in Wonder Woman, Robin can trade blows and slam bodies with the best of 'em.
