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

In a recent interview with ScreenRant promoting Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (where he and Reeves reunite), Idris Elba expressed his strong belief that a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action adaptation would be phenomenal. He specifically highlighted the potential for a powerful onscreen pairing with Keanu Reeves, stating, "Oh, man, that's a great question. 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, who played Solomon Reed in the Phantom Liberty DLC, and Reeves, the unforgettable Johnny Silverhand, could bring an electrifying dynamic to the screen.

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

Expanding the Cyberpunk Universe: Manga, Blu-ray, and More!

Beyond the live-action potential, the Cyberpunk universe continues to expand. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners MADNESS, a prequel manga, has launched in several languages, offering a glimpse into the lives of Rebecca and Pilar before joining Maine's crew. A Blu-ray release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is also planned for 2025, and a new animated series is in development. CD Projekt Red is clearly committed to enriching the Cyberpunk experience for fans.
