The actor of a cult series, who stars in the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion “Phantom Liberty”, sees himself returning in a special project alongside one of the most popular men in Hollywood.
CD Projekt Red may have said it was done with Cyberpunk 2077, but we could see what an easily forgivable little lie that was. Even though the teams have generally been focused on Cyberpunk 2, the studio took the time to release a 2.2 update. A surprise patch that expands customization with around a hundred cosmetic options for V and vehicles, continues to fix bugs and adds other new features, especially for photo mode.

Cyberpunk 2077 is not dead, at least not completely, as the latest update 2.2 shows. However, it is still true that CD Projekt Red has reassigned team members for the sequel. A new episode that probably won't be available for some time. Additionally, the Polish studio is keen to further develop its license outside of video games. Thanks to Netflix, we already had the animated series Cyberpunk Edgerunners, set in the CP2077 universe.
During an interview, CD Projekt Red CFO Piotr Nielubowicz confirmed a new animation project for Netflix. However, the company still intends to adapt Cyberpunk 2077 into live action with a film or live-action series. Idris Elba, who plays Solomon Reed in the very good expansion “Phantom Liberty”, could definitely imagine returning to the feature film alongside Keanu Reeves. As a reminder, the actor from The Matrix and many other successes played the role of Johnny Silverhand in the main game.
« Oh, that's a great question. I think if there's one movie that's suitable for a live-action adaptation, it's Cyberpunk 2077. I think Keanu Reeves' character and mine together would be “Wow.” So let's talk about it to make it happen » said the actor The wire at Screenrant. Idris Elba in a Cyberpunk 2077 movie or series with Keanu Reeves? This is a statement that should make fans dream, even if it remains just a wish for now. The call to CD Projekt Red, which is also working hard on The Witcher 4, has definitely started!
