It's a possibility that David Hayter might be returning to the Metal Gear Solid game series as the voice of Solid Snake in The Phantom Pain

Ever since it was known that David Hayter was not doing the voice of Solid Snake in the next Metal Gear game The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes, the fan base has hit the ceiling in protest about it. As the photo below illustrates, "One does not simply replace David Hayter as Snake". Hideo Kojima stating that he wanted to take the series in a new direction, but as the fans have dictated, Snake is still Snake right? Even Hayter himself said no one even approached him about the matter, and simply stated in an interview as basically saying that what is done is done. Or is it really that simple? Perhaps, perhaps not. Allow me to point out something floating around out there in case you didn't know.

Recently David Hayter changed his profile image on Twitter to an image of Solid Snake. He also made something of a hinting statement saying:

David Hayter ‏@DavidBHayter 18 Apr

"I know things about things you know nothing about."

 Really? I wonder what it is that he knows that we know nothing about? Could this mean a possible return to Metal Gear as the voice of Solid Snake once again?, or is this something entirely different. I hope it means what a few sites are reporting that it "might" mean. Also, while your at it, take a look at his image gallery when you visit his Twitter page. There are quite a number of interesting photos there you can check out. Meanwhile, if you haven't seen the video of David Hayter's explanation of his lack of a role in the voice of Solid Snake this time around, feel free to check it out below. Cheers!

*Update* Someone just pointed out a very interesting image that I wanted to add to this article, and many thanks to that person for sharing it. Same face or not?, a good question.
