Kojima burnt the Hayter bridge actually, he decided he wanted a big name Hollywood actor because he wanted it to be a cinematic experience.
The unrevealed plot twist shows that Sutherland wasn't even voicing any version of Snake
Yup. If memory serves, Kojima had been pretty publicly trying to burn that bridge since at least MGS3 and allegedly (?) tried to use that as one of the conditions for "I am done with Metal Gear Solid and will never make another" that he kept doing during that era.
I want to say that Hayter hinted at it going back to MGS2 during some of his interviews the past few years, but can't find any examples so assume that is a fever dream.
