It's more likely that the Revengeance promo material exercised artistic license, given that it is Solidus's most recognizable appearance/voice, otherwise an audience wouldn't know for sure it was him. He even had a distinct shadow "eyepatch" to complement this. That's pretty much the argument I have been using when people claim his Revengeance appearance to be fully cannon. I know that Kojima probly had a big hand in the game but I kind of doubt he was helping them picking out actors for the live actions scenes. I mean it is not the first time that such mistakes have been made due to lack of knowledge. IMO, they never took Solidus's age acceleration in mind and went off purely by his appearance in MGS2 to find a fitting actor for his portrayal.
