Ghost of Tsushima Live-Action Film Adaptation: Casting Speculations and Expectations
One of the more highly regarded games, Ghost of Tsushima, is set to have a live-action adaptation. Fans hope to see Daisuke Tsuji reprise his role as Jin Sakai from the video game to the movie. Here are other actors and actresses fans think can be contenders to land roles in the movie.
Jin Sakai
Daisuki Tsuji, who voiced and served as the motion capture actor in the game, expressed his interest in playing the iconic protagonist in the movie. Fans of the game also wished for the producers to give Tsuji the role. They argue that his knowledge of the character and the resemblance makes him the perfect actor for Jin Sakai.
Lord Shimura
Hirotuki Sanada is a veteran Japanese actor known for his roles in “The Last Samurai” and “Mortal Kombat.” His experience playing samurai-themed characters makes him a top choice to play Lord Shimura, Jin’s uncle and mentor.
Khotun Khan
While we still haven’t heard of any potential actors to play this Mongol leader, fans are suggesting that Jason Momoa or Ken Watanabe might be suitable based on their ability to play intimidating and complex antagonists.
Yuna
Some actresses who could land this role are Sonoya Mizuno and Rinko Kikuchi.
Taka
This skilled monk warrior might be up the alley of Hiroyuki Tagawa or Tadanobu Asano.
Masako Adachi
Veteran actresses like Michelle Yeoh or Gong Li can give the intensity and character depth that the role of this vengeful samurai needs.
Fan Expectation
Many hope that the Ghost of Tsushima movie adaptation will stay true to the game. We want to see the breathtaking island of Tsushima, the art of combat, and, ultimately, the emotional ride that fans of the game were able to experience playing Jin.
Knowing that John Wick’s director, Chad Stahelski, is doing this project makes it even more exciting. While the final cast members have yet to be revealed and finalized, the Ghost of Tsushima live-action is definitely one of the most highly anticipated movie adaptations of a game.
