In a thrilling revelation, Hollywood heartthrob Keanu Reeves has expressed a strong desire to don the persona of Johnny Silverhand once again in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2.
During a recent chat with IGN, while promoting his new film 'Good Fortune'—where he humorously plays an angel—Reeves eagerly stated, "Absolutely. I'd love to play Johnny Silverhand again." His enthusiasm for the character has the gaming community buzzing with excitement.
Though details about Cyberpunk 2, officially known as Project Orion, remain under wraps, we do know it will take players to a new city, described by TTRPG creator Mike Pondsmith as "Chicago gone wrong." With a dedicated team of around 80 developers in pre-production, anticipation is building.
The burning question now is whether Reeves will reprise his role, especially since Johnny Silverhand's arc in Cyberpunk 2077 had a definitive conclusion. Depending on which ending the developers choose to make canonical, Silverhand's return could be tricky.
Thinking about moving on from Reeves feels almost sacrilegious, especially considering the unforgettable "you're breathtaking" moments he created on the E3 stage. However, if the studio decides to employ a different approach, it would leave room for another star to fill Silverhand's shoes.
CD Projekt Red has a knack for attracting big names—Idris Elba lent his voice in the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion 'Phantom Liberty,' and Charles Dance graced 'The Witcher 3.' So the big question looms: who could be the next superstar to step into this gritty universe? My bets are on Sean Bean or even Arnold Schwarzenegger!
As the buzz continues, fans are left wondering: will we see the legendary Keanu Reeves back in action as Johnny Silverhand, or will another A-lister take the spotlight?
