Recently, rumors have suggested that Death Stranding 2 might be featuring Keanu Reeves. The reason behind the rise of these rumors is Kojima’s interest in working with the John Wick star. It further solidified when Kojima shared a picture of Reeves with Death Stranding’s lead star Norman Reedus.
Kojima also stated that music will play a significant role in this highly-anticipated sequel. Death Stranding 2’s announcement trailer featured a masked man in the end with long hair and a guitar-like weapon. Many believe it could be Reeves, as his character Johnny Silverhand also had a guitar in Cyberpunk 2077.
John Wick game might become a reality
It is currently unclear if Reeves will appear in Kojima’s upcoming game. But there are chances for him to enter the video game universe as his iconic movie character John Wick. In May 2023, Lionsgate announced a AAA game based on the John Wick series is under development.
