  "account": "Fans are increasingly convinced that Robert Pattinson will be starring in Hideo Kojima's upcoming action-espionage game, Physint. The first poster for the game was revealed almost a year ago, and a handful of casting announcements named Charlee Fraser, Don Lee, and Minami Hamabe as the main stars. However, the project has been relatively quiet since then, with the most recent update being a casting call in April 2026 for an actor to portray a villain with a German accent. The speculation surrounding Pattinson's involvement in the game has intensified after a photo of him and Kojima went viral shortly after the game's announcement in 2024. Kojima himself confirmed meeting with Pattinson at an afterparty at the Cannes Film Festival, where Pattinson was present alongside Jennifer Lawrence. The podcast episode has gained traction on social media due to Pattinson's recent critically acclaimed performances, leading fans to hope for a Kojima-Pattinson collaboration.",
