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

Idris Elba, star of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, pitches a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action film with himself and Keanu Reeves. Elba, in a recent interview with ScreenRant, expressed his excitement about the prospect, stating that a live-action adaptation featuring his character, Solomon Reed, and Reeves' iconic Johnny Silverhand would be "Whoa."

This isn't just wishful thinking. Variety reported in October 2023 that CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is developing a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action project with Anonymous Content. While details remain scarce, the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Witcher live-action series suggests a Cyberpunk adaptation is highly plausible.

Meanwhile, the Cyberpunk universe continues to expand. A prequel manga to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners MADNESS, has launched its first chapter. Written by Bartosz Sztybor, it focuses on Rebecca and Pilar before joining Maine's crew. The manga is currently available in several languages, with an English version expected later. A Blu-ray release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is also planned for 2025. And, excitingly, CDPR has hinted at a new Cyberpunk 2077 animated series in development.

Stay tuned for further updates on all things Cyberpunk!
