Norman Reedus Confirms Interest in Playing Himself in Death Stranding 2 Movie

Attention all Death Stranding fans: get ready for an exciting update! The much-anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is slated for release in June, and the franchise's star, actor Norman Reedus, recently offered some intriguing insights during an interview with IGN. While promoting his role in the upcoming film From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, Reedus teased details about the sequel and hinted at a future film adaptation of the game.

When asked about the possibility of playing himself in the film version, which is being developed by Michael Sarnoski and A24, Reedus responded enthusiastically, "If it was an option, yeah, for sure. I don’t know what’s happening with it. It’s so pre pre pre right now. But yeah, of course." This suggests that while the project is still in its early stages, Reedus is open to the idea of reprising his role in a different medium.

Reedus also addressed his initial confusion with the first game and whether he still felt the same way about the sequel. He expressed a deep trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima, stating, "As far as working with him and understanding where his head’s at, I don’t think anybody can understand where his head’s at. He’s just that guy, he’s out there and he’s got great ideas. But story-wise, I did know what was happening more. There’s more action in it, there’s more of a definite goal to get to." This indicates that while the narrative remains complex, Reedus is more comfortable with the storyline in the sequel.

Despite the challenges and mysteries within the Death Stranding universe, Reedus remains enthusiastic about the project. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025, promising more action and a clearer narrative direction for fans to explore.
