In one of the more delightfuly surprising pieces of E3 2019 news so far, CD Projekt Red announced that popular actor Keanu Reeves has a role in Cyberpunk 2077. His character, Johnny Silverhand, was revealed in a slick new trailer for the ambitious first-person sci-fi RPG, and CD Projekt Red later confirmed the character as "key" to the story, which suggests we may see a lot of him in our time in Night City.

Reeves did the voice work and motion-capture for his Cyberpunk 2077 character, and he looks pretty fantastic. That wasn't always the case. Reeves also appeared in the 2005 video game The Matrix: Path of Neo, and, well, his character model was not as highly detailed due to graphics being what they were back then.
