**Hideo Kojima Explains Why Margaret Qualley Was Chosen for Death Stranding**
Renowned game director Hideo Kojima recently revealed that Margaret Qualley landed the role of Mama in *Death Stranding* after he was captivated by her performance in a Spike Jonze-directed fragrance commercial. Impressed by her presence and emotional range in the ad, Kojima felt she was a natural fit for one of the game’s most emotionally layered characters.
*Death Stranding* stands as one of Kojima’s boldest and most unconventional projects, blending open-world exploration with deep, philosophical storytelling. The game follows Sam Porter Bridges on a mission to reconnect a fractured world through a mysterious communication network.
As with many of Kojima's works, the narrative explores profound themes such as isolation, mortality, and the essence of human connection. Characters are central to the experience, and Kojima’s casting of Qualley reflects his dedication to finding actors who can bring authenticity and depth to his complex vision.
