Idris Elba Goes All In, Starring in Brand-New Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Live-Action Trailer

CD PROJEKT RED has released a new Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty live-action trailer featuring Idris Elba, who portrays a major character in the upcoming expansion — secret agent Solomon Reed.

In the trailer, Idris Elba tells the audience how to survive Night City — a megalopolis where you are stacked against dangerous criminals, corrupted politicians, and powerful arms dealers. The trailer consists of live-action footage and gameplay clips highlighting the high-octane gameplay of Phantom Liberty.

The live-action trailer “All In” was directed by Mike Diva, who previously worked with CD PROJEKT RED on the Run the Jewels “No Save Point” music video promoting Cyberpunk 2077. He has also directed clips for artists such as Doja Cat and Lil Nas X and a series of sketches for Saturday Night Live, including the viral “HBO Mario Kart Trailer.”


The Live-Action Trailer also features a song performed by Idris Elba himself, which can also be found on Darkstar Radio — a new radio station added to Cyberpunk 2077 as part of the game’s free Update 2.0.

Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077’s spy-thriller expansion, is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and GeForce Now on September 26th, 2023. Players take on the role of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary for hire who is pulled into the world of spies and political intrigue, joined by sleeper agent Solomon Reed who is played by Idris Elba. More information on can be found on the game’s official website, Facebook, and X.
