Having retired in a blaze of glory from his last outing for the Playstation 3 in Hideo Kojima’s epic Metal Gear Solid 4, Solid Snake is branching out. Well not Snake himself, but the man who is as much a hero from voicing Snake over the many years he has been at the forefront of gaming.

David Hayter has turned his attentions from voicing the aging espionage soldier to form his own production company with Doomsday and London producer, Benedict Carver. Dark Hero studios will be a film, TV, internet and videogame company that fill focus primarily on action, sci-fi and horror. The first project to be made under the Dark Hero name will be Demonology, a pet project of Hayter’s which he will write and direct.

Not being a stranger to the world of movies, Hayter co-wrote the screenplay for Watchmen and Bryan Singer’s two (and frankly awesome) X Men movies. (He also penned The Scorpion King, but we’ll forgive him for that). His directorial debut Slaughter’s Road is set to start shooting in the summer, which he also wrote and with Carver on producer duties.

Here’s hoping Hayter will use the Dark Hero name to make a kick-ass Metal Gear Solid film.
