“If I get to play Jin in the live-action Ghost of Tsushima, let it be known that I fully agree to doing butt nudity,” voice actor Daisuke Tsuji stated on Twitter.
Ghost of Tsushima is getting its very own film adaptation with John Wick director Chad Stahelski at the helm, and with it being in such early stages of production, filming hasn’t started, and casting is underway, but who better to play the lead, Jin, than Jin himself?
His actorial debut was in the film Letters from Iwo Jima, directed by Clint Eastwood, where he played Cave Soldier #2, and from there, he appeared in numerous TV series before landing a role in Prey, credited with ‘additional voices’ - it was a start, and it managed to get him a bigger role in Prey: Mooncrash in 2018 as Li Phang, Ken Mizuki, and Chao Wei, two years before Ghost of Tsushima.
Who they will cast is up in the air right now, but Daisuke Tsuji has thrown his name in the ring to reprise the role, and he certainly has the portfolio to warrant at least an audition, but time will tell if that’s the direction Chad Stahelski takes.
