Elle Fanning has praised not only the game Death Stranding 2, but Hideo Kojima as well, saying that the gig was refreshingly challenging. According to his own words, Fanning is not a video gamer, but has done motion capture work in the past. However, Kojima asked Fanning to cry on command several times.
Fanning is also planning to play him in Death Stranding 2 when it comes out.
