Mad Max Director George Miller Joins Death Stranding 2 Cast as Tarman; Other Characters Revealed

Revealed during Death Stranding 2’s Special Stage presentation at TGS 2024, Australian filmmaker George Miller, the visionary behind the Mad Max franchise, has been confirmed as the newest cast to join Death Stranding 2.

We can’t tell you much about George Miller’s character, Tarman, since the presentation was in Japanese, though we can show you the first look at his character in the game.

A winged black cat also accompanies him.

There’s not much we can provide about the character just yet as the presentation is in Japanese, though we should know more shortly once translations become available.

While it may seem odd to see George Miller appearing in Death Stranding 2, for those who played the first game, this appearance probably isn’t much of a surprise, considering how many cameos appeared in it. What’s more, Guillermo del Toro, another filmmaker, also appeared in the first game and played a central role in the game’s plot. We can only assume that will be the case here, though given that he’s credited as “Special Appearance,” much like Del Toro was in the first game, we’d wager his character Tarman will likely be voiced by a different actor. That’s speculation on our part, of course.

Additionally, he will be joined by Elle Fanning as Tomorrow and Shioli Kutsuna as Rainy.

Though there’s no release date, Death Stranding 2 is currently slated to launch sometime in 2025, exclusively on the PS5.
