‘Sonic 3’s Idris Elba Wants to Reunite With Keanu Reeves for a ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Movie

As a cinephile with over three decades of movie-watching under my belt and countless hours spent immersed in video games, I can confidently say that the prospect of a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film starring Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves is nothing short of electrifying. The pair’s charisma, combined with their experience playing pivotal roles in the game’s universe, makes this project an absolute goldmine waiting to be mined.

In a thrilling turn of events, the stars from Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC, notably known for their roles, are joining forces with the iconic John Wick performer. This dynamic trio is set to collaborate on the upcoming sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 3, slated for release in theaters on December 20. Interestingly, Elba has expressed a desire for another video game adaptation, potentially starring him and Reeves. And it seems like an ideal match! In an interview with Screen Rant, Elba hinted at a possible live-action Cyberpunk 2077 movie, one that he hopes to manifest alongside Keanu Reeves.

It would be short-sighted not to consider casting Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves in a live-action version of CD Projekt Red’s future RPG, given that they have both contributed to the franchise through their digital performances. Idris Elba embodied Solomon Reed, the former lawman-turned-hit-man, in “Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty,” while Keanu Reeves brought the military veteran and “rockerboy” Johnny Silverhand to life. Combining their talents on screen for an adaptation seems like a guaranteed financial success, and Idris Elba has expressed his desire to see this collaboration come to fruition.

Wow, what an intriguing question! I believe a live-action adaptation could potentially work for the game Cyberpunk 2077. If brought to life, the combination of those characters would undoubtedly be astonishing, so let’s visualize that scenario together!

Last year, rumors of a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 film surfaced, but since then, little additional information has been shared. Meanwhile, Netflix has given the franchise new life by producing an animated series based on it, with a second season already in development.

As we eagerly anticipate the news of Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves joining forces for a movie based on Cyberpunk 2077 (a project any studio would be foolish to decline), they are set to make their first joint appearance on the big screen in this month’s sequel to a video game. Jeff Fowler, who directed Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, will once again take the director’s chair for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, with Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington penning the screenplay. The film stars Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails, Idris Elba as Knuckles, Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog, with James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Lee Majdoub, and Jim Carrey rounding out the cast, returning to their roles from the previous films.

It’s evident that Elba and Reeves share a great working relationship, as they expressed their desire to reunite Knuckles and Shadow in a potential Sonic spin-off alongside the rumored Cyberpunk 2077 adaptation. Keep an eye out for more details on Sonic the Hedgehog 3, as its official synopsis is provided below.

This holiday season, Sonic the Hedgehog is back for another exhilarating journey on the big screen! Joining forces once more are our favorite speedsters: Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. They’re up against a formidable new foe – Shadow, a shadowy antagonist with powers beyond anything they’ve encountered before. Overpowered in every aspect, Team Sonic embarks on a quest to find an unconventional ally, aiming to thwart Shadow and safeguard the planet.
