Idris Elba, star of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, envisions a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action film starring himself and Keanu Reeves. In a recent interview, Elba expressed his excitement about the prospect, stating that a live-action adaptation featuring their characters would be "Whoa."
A Night City Reunion?
Elba's enthusiasm stems from a previous collaboration with Reeves on the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film. The actor believes a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action project is perfectly feasible, and the pairing of his character, Solomon Reed, with Reeves' iconic Johnny Silverhand would be electrifying.
Reeves portrayed the rebellious rockerboy Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077, while Elba took on the role of the seasoned FIA agent Solomon Reed in the Phantom Liberty expansion. This potential on-screen reunion is further fueled by reports from Variety that a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action project is underway, with CD Projekt Red partnering with Anonymous Content. While details remain scarce, the success of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime and The Witcher live-action series suggests a strong possibility.
