There really isn't anyone else it could be. Maybe, but then again, the official Mewtwo movie for Best Wishes website had the director stating it was the same Mewtwo as Mewtwo Returns and Pokémon the first movie, yet when the film was actually released, it was made clear it wasn't the same Mewtwo at all (which resulted in controversy so huge that even Raiden's reception among the west was by comparison popularly received).

And besides, Kojima also implied that Liquid Snake would appear in Peace Walker during TGS2009, yet outside of a brief reference in the secret call and possibly a magazine cover for us in the West, Liquid doesn't ever appear in any capacity, certainly not to the extent of us actually understanding his motives (and let me make clear that the game was already in its final stages by the time of TGS2009, considering it took a few months to release it shortly thereafter, even making a big deal about it).
