Idris Elba, star of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, has publicly expressed his strong desire for a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 adaptation featuring himself and Keanu Reeves. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, promoting his role in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (where he shares the screen with Reeves), Elba enthusiastically stated that a live-action Cyberpunk film starring himself and Reeves would be "Whoa." He envisions a powerful on-screen dynamic between his character, Solomon Reed, and Reeves' iconic Johnny Silverhand.

This isn't merely wishful thinking. Variety reported in October 2023 that CD Projekt Red (CDPR), the creators of Cyberpunk 2077, is indeed collaborating with Anonymous Content on a live-action project. While details remain scarce a year later, the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and the ongoing live-action The Witcher series suggests a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action adaptation is a strong possibility.

Beyond the live-action prospect, the Cyberpunk universe continues to expand. A prequel manga to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners MADNESS, has launched, focusing on Rebecca and Pilar before joining Maine's crew. The manga is currently available in several languages, with an English release date yet to be announced. Furthermore, a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Blu-ray release is slated for 2025, and CDPR has hinted at a new animated series in development. Fans can expect further updates soon.
