Cyberpunk 2077’s Idris Elba Hopes For Cyberpunk Live-Action With Keanu Reeves

Idris Elba Wants a Cyberpunk 2077 Live-Action With Keanu Reeves

Idris Elba, star of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, has expressed his strong desire for a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 adaptation featuring himself and Keanu Reeves. In a recent interview, Elba shared his excitement about the prospect of a reunion with Reeves, stating that a live-action version of the game would be incredible, particularly with their characters together.

Elba's enthusiasm stems from his belief that the game's world lends itself perfectly to a live-action adaptation. He envisions a powerful dynamic between his character, Solomon Reed, and Reeves' iconic Johnny Silverhand. The actor's words suggest a collaborative spirit and a shared vision for bringing the Cyberpunk universe to life on the big screen.

This isn't just wishful thinking. Variety reported in October 2023 that a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 project is underway, with CD Projekt Red partnering with Anonymous Content. While updates have been slow since the announcement, the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Witcher live-action series suggests a strong possibility for a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action adaptation.
