A gorgeous new video game features stunning re-creations of its famous Hollywood cast - here's the full roster

A gorgeous new video game features stunning re-creations of its famous Hollywood cast - here's the full roster

French actress Léa Seydoux plays the character "Fragile."

Mexican movie director Guillermo del Toro, who directed "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Pacific Rim," plays the character "Deadman."

Both of the film directors portrayed in "Death Stranding" are mere "puppets" — their likenesses are used, but they are voiced by different people.

American actress Margaret Qualley, most well known for her character Jilly Garvey on "The Leftovers," plays "Mama."

It's unclear what Mama's role is in the game, but she appears to be some form of medium, able to see things that others cannot.

Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of "Drive," plays a character named "Heartman."

In the case of Refn, like Del Toro, the character's appearance is the only likeness shared with the actual person — both were visually captured, but are voice-acted by different people.

Kojima explained as much on Twitter this week:

I asked my bestie, Nicolas, to be “HEARTMAN” in DS as special guest. We 3D scanned his head, body, and facial expressions to make his 3D model, but his acting and voice are done by a different performer, same as with Guillermo. 👍🌈🦀🐟🐋☔️ pic.twitter.com/wOGt0LfX89

American-born actor Tommie Earl Jenkins, most well-known from his voice acting role on the British cartoon "Go Jetters," plays a character named "Die-Hardman."

Why is Tommie Earl Jenkins wearing a carbon fiber mask? Why is his character named "Die-Hardman"? These are the questions!

We still don't know — this character reveal was one of the more mysterious, bizarre moments of the new trailer. In the scenes shown, he appears alongside Deadman (Del Toro) and Sam (Reedus). Could he be an employee of the same Bridges group that Sam belongs to? He might be might be!

Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, of TV's "Hannibal" and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," plays a character named Cliff who — in this scene — appears to be a good guy.

But Mikkelsen also appears as a horrific ghost soldier at various points in the trailer, so maybe he's not always so good.

There is an obvious tonal difference between the version of Mikkelsen depicted as some form of bespectacled doctor and the version wearing Gulf War-era military fatigues, covered in blood and shrouded in darkness.

It's not clear if his character is a straight-up antagonist or if there are multiple versions of him or what.

American actress Lindsay Wagner, of "The Bionic Woman" fame, plays the role of "Amelie."

Amelie — the only character whose tears are actually blood — appears to be involved with Sam in some way. She's seen hugging him, and appears to be an apparition of sorts in other scenes. Her character remains somewhat of a mystery.

And, of course, Norman Reedus of "The Walking Dead" fame stars as the game's main character — who you'll play as — Sam Bridges.
