Fans Think Elle Fanning is Playing An Older BB In Death Stranding On the Beach
The firstDeath Stranding’s 15th chapter was titled “Tomorrow is in your hands,” which the user thinks is a reference to Sam holding a baby Lou, the supposed past version ofDeath Stranding 2’s Tomorrow. Other Reddit users have pointed out that the phrase “tomorrow is in your hands” is used plenty of other times in the originalDeath Stranding, and that it would be on-brand for Hideo Kojima to sprinkle in this sort of subtle foreshadowing. This has led to even more theories about how Lou is shown as both an adult and an infant duringDeath Stranding 2.
On the other hand, some Reddit users believe that this could all be some kind of elaborate misdirection and that Tomorrow isn’t Lou at all. The truth about Tomorrow’s identity and herpossible connection to Sam’s former BB partnerwill likely remain a mystery untilDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachlaunches sometime in 2025, but in true Kojima fashion, the revelation will likely raise twice as many questions as it answers.
