Reedus is the first up, and he opens it with a simple "" before starting to break down some of his thoughts about the trailer.
Interestingly, he references a couple of key lines in the trailer as finally having meaning to him, as apparently both "" and " previously lacked context. His reaction starts at 26:14 in the video.

George Miller's mindset as the auteur behind the films comes through clearly as he enthuses about how effective it is as a trailer thanks to its inherent promise of "" Fatih Akin, also an acclaimed director, compares the potential step-up in the sequel to
Kojima trailers tend to leave lingering questions, and fans will no doubt be speculating on certain details and implications of the trailer until the game releases in 2025. It's nice to get a glimpse into the thoughts of actors directly involved with the project, and it's clear that there's some enthusiasm involved that goes beyond professional courtesy. It might be some time yet until releases, but for the time being, Norman Reedus and the stars are waiting to find out some answers along with everyone else.
