Unfortunately OP, David Hayter has already confirmed that he won't be in The Phantom Pain, and with the way Konami terminated him I'd have my doubts about a return even if Solid Snake does appear. Same goes for the excuse that Hayter is "trolling". I mean, sure it's not impossible, but very unlikely.

I have my doubts about us seeing many more of the Sons of Big Boss. We may see Wolf, but we probably won't see Vulcan Raven because I don't recall him ever mentioning coming in to contact with Big Boss. As for Octopus, I have my suspicions that we've already met Octopus, as you may have seen on other discussions. But, if we haven't, it's probable we may see him too. He's a blank slate, and they'd be remiss not to capitalise on it in some way.

Seeing Strangelove is a possibility, but far from guaranteed. We're going to see Huey, so I'd like to see how Strangelove and Huey are getting along 10 years later. That all feeds in to Konami announcing on Facebook that Strangelove is Hal's mother and then retracting it, so there may be something there. As for Hal himself? Pretty unlikely. I can't picture why there'd be a situation where Big Boss is in a place where a 4 year old can be.

Pretty good chance we'll see Fox at least, and presumably Naomi as well. After all, Big Boss took them both to the US, if I recall. It'd be interesting to see at any rate.

I won't say that Solid Snake won't be in The Phantom Pain, but it doesn't look all that likely. That said, Liquid is (presumably) in the game, so why the hell not? One user suggested here ages ago that it'd be awesome to infiltrate the Mother Base you spent all your game building - and I agree. Nobody knows your fortress better than you, but it'd still be a fantastic challenge.

3. Chico's dead... So, out of a helicopter crash that everybody else is confirmed to have survived in, you think Chico died? Based on what? The only death there is Paz.

I don't think the game's going to be spanning nine years. I remember seeing somewhere that it was said that The Phantom Pain will feature a few timeskips to be more like a movie's continuity, and that the game will go for longer than 1984. Whether that means we'll see it go for 9 years? I dunno, I personally doubt it. Doesn't mean the game won't end in, let's say 1986, and then skip to 1995. Who knows?
