If Zero sent Solidus to watch over Big Boss that implies any attempts to do anything to harm Big Boss are to be dealt with. Zero imo would not chance Big Boss' safety to a child, no matter who the Father after just 2-3 years of being alive, accelerated aging or not.

Now let's say it is Solidus, maybe that's why he has the same voice as Big Boss. Being a perfect clone could explain that. How does he then forget later that he watched over him? Is he not told who it is he's watching? What training did he go through in his 2-3 years being alive to make him the choice? What's his purpose if not to defend Big Boss? Is his mission complete after BB wakes up and escapes?

Those are just the question I can think of if it is Solidus. I'm sure there's others I'm not thinking of. Is it worth doing all that just to shoehorn Solidus into the story? With all the other questions the trailers have brought up IDK, but I don't think so. In all fairness, considering he explicitly mentioned that he killed Raiden's parents in order to see if there indeed was another power beyond his own, I'm pretty sure he'd disobey their orders anyways (barring that of killing Big Boss).
