Idris Elba Wants to Star Alongside Keanu Reeves in CYBERPUNK 2077 Movie

Idris Elba is hoping that one day, he and Keanu Reeves will step back into Night City for a Cyberpunk 2077 film adaptation.

During an interview with Screen Rant, Elba was about whether he would be open to reuniting with Reeves for a film adaptation of the sci-fi game and Elba replied:

"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."

It would be pretty awesome if Elba and Reeves ended up starring together in a Cyberpunk 2077, as both actors are a part of the franchise and there’s no doubt that fans would love to see them play the live-action versions of the character that play in the games.

Cyberpunk 2077 follows V, a mercenary in the vibrant yet dangerous Night City, who becomes entangled in a high-stakes heist to steal a groundbreaking biochip from the megacorporation Arasaka.

The mission goes off the rails, and the biochip is implanted into V's head to save their life, but it comes with a catch—it contains the engram (a digital consciousness) of Johnny Silverhand, a rebellious rocker and anti-corporate terrorist who died decades ago.

As Johnny’s personality begins to overwrite V’s mind, the two must navigate a tenuous alliance to uncover a way to separate their fates. Along the way, V interacts with a colorful cast of allies and enemies, explores the seedy underbelly and corporate towers of Night City, and faces moral dilemmas that shape the outcome of their story.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty step back into the role of V, a mercenary entangled in a high-stakes political conspiracy. V is enlisted by the enigmatic FIA agent Solomon Reed (voiced by Idris Elba) to rescue the president of the New United States after her orbital shuttle crashes in Dogtown.

As V navigates the perilous world of covert operations, double-crosses, and cybernetic intrigue, the story dives into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal, offering players the chance to shape the narrative through impactful choices.

With gritty new characters, advanced weapons, and a deeper dive into Night City's dystopian lore, Phantom Liberty delivers a gripping cyberpunk thriller.
