Many followers remember well one of the mysterious photos Kojima Productions shared. It remained a mystery for a while until the shadow was removed so the girl's face could be clearly seen. It's that of American actress Elle Fanning, who has appeared in many famous films and will join the heroes of Death Stranding 2.

The American actress left Fanning As a guest on the latest episode of Kojima's KojimaBrain Structure podcast, speaking with the game director about his role in Death Stranding 2, seemingly as a central character in a deep story to come, Kojima said:

I've always been a huge fan of Elle Fanning and have been watching her movies since she was a little girl.

I've obviously seen 'Super 8', but she also worked with Nicolas Winding Refn on The Neon Demon and they always tell me what an amazing person she is.

Kojima manages to get in touch with the actress Fanning and convinces her to work with him on his new project thanks to her friendship with the Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn Who knows both of them, where she said Elle Fanning Speaking on the podcast:

Nicholas told me that Hideo Kojima is a genius and he wants you to be in his game, and that it will be a great experience, because I told myself that I want to be part of this experience, we talked on Zoom and I (Kojima, Ed) told me a lot of secrets about the story of Death Stranding 2 that I obviously won't reveal.

I was very moved by the character she asked me to play, I really wanted to play her, explaining that she was completely new and amazing in her eyes also because she was never passionate about video games growing up and that's why he never knew this medium.

We all remember that famous presenter Geoff Keighley previously shared that Kojima originally wrote the story of Death Stranding 2 around the character of Elle Fanning and therefore she will be a central character in the game, so… now it is clear that the upcoming title will contain a thrilling and very deep drama and philosophical dimensions like what we saw in Death Stranding.
