There would be absolutely no reason for him to be anyone other than Big Boss. The entire basis for the current phase of the MGS saga is to close the loop in the events prior to the Outer Heaven Uprising, not to mention the Kojima has gone great lengths to emphasize the Phantom Pain as being Big Boss's fall from grace. MGSV isn't going to be as "enormous" as it supposedly is just to play as an imposter and blatantly disregard the first-person perspective of Big Boss which has been the central focus thus far.
