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

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

Idris Elba, star of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, has expressed strong interest in a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film alongside Keanu Reeves. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, promoting his role in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (where he shares the screen with Reeves), Elba stated that a live-action adaptation featuring himself and Reeves would be incredible. He envisions a powerful on-screen pairing, stating, "I think if any film could do a live-action rendition, it could be [Cyberpunk 2077], and I think his character and my character together would be, ‘Whoa.’ So, let's speak that into existence."

Elba's enthusiasm is fueled by his and Reeves' prior collaboration. Reeves famously portrayed Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077, while Elba played Solomon Reed in the Phantom Liberty expansion.

This shared desire might not be entirely unfounded. Variety reported in October 2023 that CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is developing a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 project with Anonymous Content. While details remain scarce, the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and the live-action Witcher series suggests a Cyberpunk adaptation is a viable and potentially lucrative venture.

More Cyberpunk News: A Prequel Manga and Blu-ray Release

Beyond the live-action possibility, fans have more Cyberpunk content to look forward to. A prequel manga to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners MADNESS, is now available in several languages, with an English release expected later. Additionally, a Blu-ray release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is planned for 2025, and CDPR has teased another animated series. The Cyberpunk universe continues to expand!
