Cyberpunk 2: Keanu Reeves could really be coming back

Keanu Reeves has never hidden his desire to reprise the role of Johnny Silverhand in the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. Although it will require some creative storytelling to justify his appearance, a return seems more likely than ever.

Mike Pondsmith, who created the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop game and served as a consultant on the video game, participated in a live stream organized by CD Projekt RED. During the broadcast, he revealed that he was open to Keanu Reeves returning in Cyberpunk 2.

« Not too long ago, I saw that Keanu would like to find a way to come back from the dead and play Johnny again. I have solutions for that, Keanu, get in touch with me. »
