Large chunks of Death Stranding 2<\/strong><\/a> would have needed rewriting if Elle Fanning had refused to be in the game. Hideo Kojima revealed how he created a character specifically for Fanning and those parts would have needed to be altered if the actress decided not to accept the role.<\/p>\n

Who is the Death Stranding 2 character played by Elle Fanning?<\/h2>\n

Kojima remained very tight-lipped about Fanning\u2019s role in the game, only telling his Brain Structure podcast<\/a> that \u201cshe\u2019s a very, very important character.\u201d The creator has used \u201cElle\u2019s talents and charm to create a character unlike any other,\u201d even going as far as rewriting the script following new ideas that came to him after the pair first met:<\/p>\n

I changed a lot, I even added in new scenes. So we changed stuff during performance captures, but I wanted actors like Elle to be a part of the creative process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the actress had turned down the part, Kojima \u201cwould have had to throw out the scenes that I had written, since she plays a major role.\u201d The good news is that Fanning agreed to join Death Stranding 2 alongside Norman Reedus as Samuel \u201cSam\u201d Porter Bridges, L\u00e9a Seydoux as Fragile<\/a>, and Troy Baker as Higgs Monaghan, so no rewriting is necessary. Shioli Kutsuna will also be taking on the role of a new character. One character that won\u2019t be returning, though, is Heartman<\/a>.<\/p>\n
