Smile 2 Star Kyle Gallner Wants to Play V in Paramount’s Cyberpunk 2077 Movie
Kyle Gallner, known for starring in Smile 2, has expressed his interest in portraying V, the protagonist of Cyberpunk 2077, in Paramount’s upcoming live-action film adaptation. With Paramount officially developing the project, Gallner’s public interest signals growing Hollywood enthusiasm for bringing the franchise to the screen.
Cyberpunk 2077 has established a significant cultural footprint since evolving from its tabletop RPG roots. CD Projekt Red’s acclaimed video game, bolstered by its recent expansion, introduced the franchise to millions of players worldwide. The universe has continued to expand through Edgerunners, a critically-acclaimed anime spinoff by Studio Trigger that has introduced new audiences to the cyberpunk setting.
As Paramount moves forward with its live-action adaptation, specific plot details remain undisclosed. Nevertheless, Gallner’s candidacy and the project’s development represent momentum for bringing the neon-soaked, dystopian world of Cyberpunk 2077 to cinema audiences.
