Hideo Kojima, the legendary game designer known for his innovative storytelling and cinematic approach to video games, has made the news again. He’s out and about, potentially collecting actors once again, with his latest catch being Hollywood’s scream queen, Mia Goth!
Kojima, who attended the premiere of Goth’s upcoming film MaXXXine, posted pictures from the event, including a snapshot of the actress herself. Unsurprisingly, the internet burst into a frenzy, with many fans begging him to put her into his next game.
Hideo Kojima and Mia Goth, aka a Meeting of Creative Minds
Hideo Kojima‘s fascination with the world of cinema is well-documented. Playing through any of his games will show you the same, or you can scroll through his X/Twitter, which has the same effect.
His games often blur the lines between films and interactive entertainment, drawing inspiration from various cinematic techniques and narrative structures.

He met Goth at the premiere of MaXXXine, a slasher film where the titular character is targeted by ‘The Night Stalker,‘ a serial killer.
Goth is known for her compelling performances in horror films such as X and Pearl, and her iconic dialogues that have been plastered across the internet. She wasn’t joking when she said “I’m a star!“
With these two iconic figures in the creative industry present taking a picture together, fans cannot contain their excitement. There’s a natural synergy between the game designer’s visionary storytelling and Goth’s acting skills that needs to be explored.

The moment Kojima shared the photos from the MaXXXine premiere, his replies were filled with enthusiastic reactions.
Please make her a character 🙏

As Kojima is known for ‘collecting actors‘ like they’re Pokemon (seriously, his industry pull feels like no joke), there are a lot of fans hoping that Goth is next in line.
It’s not just about seeing two famous people from different industries together. Kojima and Goth are highly respected in their creative fields, and for good reason.

Goth is an exceptional actor who tackles complex and dark roles with a lot of nuances, while Kojima has an unmistakable penchant for creative rich, and immersive stories that are way ahead of its time.
There’s no doubt the actress would fit perfectly into a Kojima game, and fans need to see it happen. Whether it be Overdose, Death Stranding 2, or another game entirely, one thing is for sure: Whatever Kojima cooks, people will eat it up.
If you could put Goth into one of Kojima’s upcoming or currently released games, which one would it be, and why? We’d love you to hear your answer in the comments below!
