Kojima Productions appears to be preparing early work on its reported project Physint after casting notices for characters aboard a hijacked bus were picked up by MP1ST and reported by Push Square.
The notices, summarised by the outlets, seek actors to fill a range of roles on the bus, from a villain-esque central character to teenagers. One description highlighted in coverage likened the villain role to "Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal but with flair."
Details on the casting pages do not make explicit whether the roles are intended for voice work, motion-capture or full live-action performance. The specificity of the character list and the enclosed setting suggest in-person casting sessions of some form.
The reported casting activity aligns with Kojima Productions' history of cinematic, performance-driven storytelling, but the studio has not issued a formal comment on the notices or confirmed how they relate to Physint.
MP1ST first spotted the calls and Push Square carried the report. Further official information from Kojima Productions is awaited before the project's scope and production approach can be confirmed.
