In retrospect I agree that Kojima seems to like to use more western actors but then again his games seem to have a better reception in western audience.  I would like for him to use more eastern creators as there are some out there with some off the wall and truly out there horror work.  I believe Junji Ito is definite a good choice and he has a bit of a name which is something Kojima likes as well.

Yeah, I would like to see it too, but I think Kojima doesn't make no secret of the fact that he wants Hollywood validation and his ultimate goal is to make films for Hollywood. He's a Hollywood fanboy and wants to be friends with Hollywood stars. Since MGSV he has plastered his games with Hollywood actors, creatives, etc. Now he gets part of his dream with A24 making a Death Stranding film.

I struggle to think of Kojima elevating many local industry folk Tbh.

Junji would be great and there's a lot of great Korean filmmakers too.

I have to agree, once you painted that picture for me I forgot how much a fan boy Kojima is for Hollywood validation.  Yeah, I really hope this OD grabs a number of industry folks outside of western core he likes to use but as you say, probably not.
