Oscar Isaac has shared a cryptic update on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie, first rumoured in 2006.
The Moon Knight star, set to take on the role of Solid Snake, has weighed in on the hotly-anticipated film during the red carpet premiere of the Marvel and Disney+ show.
"We're searching, we're searching like Solid Snake," Isaac told IGN. "We're climbing through air ducts, we're looking for the story."

The film adaptation of the video game series created by Hideo Kojima sees Kong: Skull Island's Jordan Vogt-Roberts directing a script by Jurassic World co-writer Derek Connolly.
After being in development limbo for over a decade, the project has seen some significant steps forward since 2020, when the Star Wars actor was cast in the lead role, after having previously expressed interest in the part.
What to Read Next
Isaac has said he loves the game series, first released for PlayStation in 1998.
"[It's] also based in the quietness of the stealth, knowing that every step you take as you go further into the belly of the beast, is further away from safety," he previously explained.

"[The Metal Gear Solid] game and Kojima-san's world mean the world to me, and that's something that I'm very proud of what we're doing. I think it's very Kojima, punk rock, twisty."
Details of the plot are being kept under wraps for now, but director Vogt-Roberts has teased his film will usher in "a new type of action on screen". When that will be, it isn't known yet.
Moon Knight will be available to stream on Disney+ from March 30.
