Keanu Reeves has expressed his keen interest in reprising his iconic role as Johnny Silverhand in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2, despite the character's fate in Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith has hinted at creative methods to bring Johnny back, teasing Reeves to "contact me" for details. Given various endings of Cyberpunk 2077, there are possibilities for Johnny's return either through flashbacks or alternate narratives. Pondsmith has also revealed that Cyberpunk 2 will explore a new city with a distinct dystopian flair, likened to a "Chicago gone wrong." As CD Projekt shifts focus towards The Witcher 4, players may have to wait until at least 2030 to experience the sequel.

Can Keanu Reeves return as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2?

Yes, there are potential narrative avenues that could allow Keanu Reeves to reprise his role, depending on how CD Projekt decides to craft the sequel's storyline.
