With the huge information of CD Projekt RED teaming up with Nameless Content material for a live-action Cyberpunk 2077 venture, issues are getting thrilling. As is the case with any online game, it’s simple to think about precise actors and actresses taking part in these acquainted roles. That is no exception, and there are apparent stars that may be a deal with to see play iconic Cyberpunk roles.
As for V, it’s actually unclear if the male or feminine model of the character goes to be the selection right here. Even with that uncertainty, there are terrific concepts both means. Earlier than we get began, although, only a disclaimer that it is a wishlist, and there’s no assure that almost all or all of those characters will make it into the live-action adaptation.
Aaron Paul as Male V

Breaking Unhealthy proved that Aaron Paul has all of the doable performing chops to tackle the character of V. Between the emotion proven within the collection’ most tense moments and the extra reserved Jesse scenes, that is virtually a no brainer. An important half to V is discovering somebody who can do the motion and seriousness, but additionally the humorous facet that may be discovered by sure dialogue selections.
Should you at any level doubt this decide, get your fingers on a duplicate of Come and Discover Me, the place Aaron Paul performs the boyfriend of a lady who in the future merely up and vanishes. The vary present in that movie will completely promote you on him as V.
Jack Quaid as Male V

Ever since his grand debut as Hughie on the live-action adaptation of The Boys, Jack Quaid has confirmed he can actually carry the expertise. Whereas serving as a lot of the gritty present’s comedic reduction, it’s apparent he has the correct comedic timing and dexterity to ensure V isn’t a brooding mess post-Konpeki Plaza.
On the identical time, the latest superpowered flip to his character has confirmed that he’s additionally nice when he has to get his fingers soiled. One of the best instance of his performing vary (in addition to The Boys) is most undoubtedly in Scream 5, however I don’t wish to spoil something, so see it for your self.
Florence Pugh as Feminine V

As somebody who spent all of their playthroughs as feminine V (Cherami Leigh is a unbelievable voice actress), these selections weren’t as simple to determine. Nonetheless, our first must be Florence Pugh, just because she is precisely what the position of V wants. From her terrific emotional efficiency in Midsommar to her huge motion position in Black Widow, she’d be excellent for V.
Each single position she has, she fully nails. As an example, Florence Pugh was the one motive Don’t Fear Darling was watchable, which is saying one thing. Should you doubt extra of her comedic expertise, I very a lot suggest Preventing with My Household.
Hailee Steinfeld as Feminine V
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-16022661621.jpg?resize=640%2C427)
The position that completely places Hailee Steinfeld on the map for me as V must be her huge breakout in True Grit. She needed to sustain with performing juggernauts Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, and Matt Damon and completely held her personal. The center of V is certainly taking no matter is thrown at you and giving it again tenfold with out letting it take them down.
As talked about, True Grit is a wonderful option to see Hailee Steinfeld’s performing vary, however she’s been in some extremely first rate motion pictures. One of the best picks are doubtless Fringe of Seventeen or Bumblebee as a result of someway the latter was an really good Transformer film. Most likely on account of her efficiency.
Dave Bautista as Jackie
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-14609276671.jpg?resize=640%2C462)
Being actual with you, there’s actually not anybody else who can do that position to the identical diploma that Dave Bautista may/will. Although most individuals know him principally as Drax and his terrific comedic reduction performing, that’s not all that he can carry to Jackie. His severe roles are actually extra impactful than something he has finished in comedies, whether or not it’s the Guardians movies or Stuber.
That’s not even to say the physicality of the position itself. Dave Bautista is an enormous man and completely suits the imposing statue of Jackie. I’m undecided I’ve ever heard him do the same accent in a film, however there’s no motive to imagine he can’t nail that. If you wish to verify him out in a severe motion position, Bushwick has all the pieces you want.
Hiroyuki Sanada as Takemura
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-14750001541.jpg?resize=640%2C457)
The position of Takemura calls for a soft-spoken however nonetheless honest and stern actor to really play the position accurately. With that in thoughts, there isn’t anybody higher than Hiroyuki Sanada. When you’ve got seen Bullet Prepare, you already know precisely what I’m speaking about. He’s acquired the samurai persona and toughness all the way down to a T whereas additionally undoubtedly able to Takemura’s dry deadpan in response to V’s jokes.
62 years previous (on the time of writing), he’s on the excellent place in his life for a wizened previous soldier who has misplaced his grasp by treachery and betrayal. There shouldn’t be any concern for his bodily capacity for the position both, after the wonderful exhibiting that was his half in John Wick: Chapter 4.
Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-16965251951.jpg?resize=640%2C425)
Sure, this entry feels reasonably pointless, I do know, however there’s no higher option to completely gush about how excellent Keanu Reeves is on the position already. There’s nobody else who may ever do that position justice, and that’s not simply since you’re used to listening to his voice come out of your audio system/headset over the sport’s 30+ hour playthroughs.
There merely simply isn’t a Cyberpunk 2077 live-action something if Keanu Reeves doesn’t play an enormous position, particularly not in the event that they do select to comply with the story of V. Although Keanu has confirmed his motion days aren’t behind him (one other shoutout to John Wick: Chapter 4), Silverhand isn’t a bodily position. Because the ghost in V’s specific machine, all he has to do is stand, brood, and be abrasive.
Keri Russell as Rogue
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-14831665681.jpg?resize=640%2C427)
The purpose to Rogue isn’t that she was some badass Edgerunner who has lived previous her prime by sheer luck. As a substitute, she is confirmed to be merely a survivor who was good sufficient to know what she wanted to vary to get out forward of Night time Metropolis. She is hard as nails, positive, however it’s her mind that acquired her what she has.
Contemplating Keri Russel’s clever, savvy position as Elizabeth Jennings in The People, she is ideal for this position. Should you haven’t watched the collection, you actually ought to, as you will notice the correct traits that make her the correct (and ideal) alternative for Rogue.
Karen Fukuhara as Hanako Arisaka
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-14466099291.jpg?resize=640%2C457)
Yep, yet one more star from The Boys who can be excellent for a unique sort of adaptation. Although Karen Fukuhara doesn’t converse in The Boys, her efficiency is on no account weakened by it. As a substitute, she is excellently emotive and, on the identical time, terrifyingly lethal. This does reasonably show that The Boys is a wonderful showcase of the most effective stars on TV/streaming in the meanwhile.
To not drop any spoilers, however there’s not an excessive amount of of Hanako within the story till mainly the very finish. Nonetheless, it’s when she exhibits up that issues drop off the rails, and her presence results in one of the crucial inventive endings out of all the probabilities in Cyberpunk. There’s nobody higher for the position, and those that have gone by The Satan ending know what I imply.
Daniela Melchior as Judy
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-14905107361.jpg?resize=640%2C427)
Of the massive names on this listing, Daniela Melchior doesn’t have as a lot to her filmography. Nonetheless, what’s really there may be undoubtedly price giving her a shot at a strong portrayal of Judy Alvarez. When you’ve got seen the newer Suicide Squad, she performed Rat-Catcher 2 and did a wonderful job round greats like Idris Elba and Margot Robbie.
Since then, she has additional proven off her expertise in Quick X, and he or she performs a task within the upcoming Highway Home remake. This identical early profession place makes her excellent for the not-always-confident Judy, however this casting would definitely make her storyline resonate simply as a lot because it did within the sport. On the very least, give us the superior underwater diving part in live-action!
Rosario Dawson as Panam
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-16139072231.jpg?resize=640%2C427)
Okay, so this won’t fairly match age-wise, however Rosario Dawson has the expertise to actually breathe the correct quantity of life into the position of the Nomad queen. Whereas Panam’s precise motion segments are reasonably restricted, that doesn’t imply Rosario Dawson gained’t have the ability to dish it out when wanted, and the Ahsoka collection has proven that extremely properly.
Should you aren’t offered on this casting alternative, as with the remainder, there are terrific examples to construct your confidence. The primary can be Sin Metropolis (and its sequel), the place her efficiency as Gail will definitely encourage you. In any other case, simply keep up to date on Ahsoka, as she is clearly giving that collection her all.
Dylan McDermott as Vik Vector
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-16134175151.jpg?resize=640%2C427)
For the longest time, I very a lot hoped that Dylan McDermott would get to play Nathan Drake in some live-action adaptation. Whereas that clearly didn’t materialize, the identical performing skills that may make him nice for that position match completely for Vik Vector. Vik is previous and wizened by the point Cyberpunk begins, however it’s clear he led an thrilling life earlier than he settled down.
Dylan McDermott would play the position with the proper quantity of appeal and intelligence. He’d actually completely ship the sensation of a father determine watching their favourite child fade away. Whereas there are tons of exemplary movies to recommend right here to again up my level, Freezer must be the only option, and it’s very price a viewing or two.
Margot Robbie as Misty
![](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/GettyImages-15385301721.jpg?resize=640%2C421)
I shouldn’t need to promote this one that tough, particularly contemplating the accent she sports activities within the sport is actually fairly near Margot Robbie’s as Harley Quinn. Sure, it’s a a lot smaller position than somebody like Margot Robbie deserves. Nonetheless, there are such a lot of deep, fascinating characters that you just gotta give even a smaller position to an amazing star to allow them to rework the character into a lot extra.
Margot Robbie has terrific vary, so she’s the proper actress to take Misty and make the character shine, although within the base sport, most gamers most likely overlook about her as soon as Jackie dies. In a shock, Misty does play a component in one in all Phantom Liberty’s new endings that makes an enormous affect on the story of the sport and the understanding of V, so it will be good to get a chunk of that.
