Cyberpunk 2077 May Have Avengers: Endgame Actor

Keanu Reeves may not be the only famous actor in Cyberpunk 2077. Fans of the upcoming role-playing game seem to think Hiroyuki Sanada is also in the title, and like Reeves, could be playing a prominent character in the game. The theory comes courtesy of a re-examining of an official screenshot of the game. In it, there appears to be multiple characters buried under what is either a scrap yard or a collapsed building. Whatever the case, in the top left of the screenshot is a shadowy character that gives off serious villain vibes.

Interestingly, when you zoom in on this character and enhance the image, the character looks quite a bit like Hiroyuki Sanada. Whoever the character is, CD Projekt Red hasn't revealed them. Again, the screenshot makes it look like this character is a villain though.

Of course, for now, this is nothing but speculation, but there's no denying the character does share a resemblance with Sanada. And when you consider the game already has Keanu Reeves on its payroll, it's easy to imagine it has other prominent actors as well.
