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

Death Stranding fans, get ready for an exhilarating journey because the highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is set to launch in June. In a recent interview with IGN, the franchise's star, actor Norman Reedus, shared some intriguing insights about the upcoming game and dropped a hint about the future film adaptation. This project, announced last month, is being spearheaded by Michael Sarnoski and A24.

When asked if he would consider portraying himself in the film version of the game, 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 statement adds to the excitement surrounding the potential movie, although details remain scarce at this early stage.

During the interview, Reedus also addressed his initial confusion with the first game and whether that feeling persisted into the second installment. He expressed a deep trust in creator Hideo Kojima, acknowledging the visionary's unique approach. "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," Reedus admitted. "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."

Despite any complexities, Reedus remains enthusiastic about his involvement in the Death Stranding universe. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."

Mark your calendars—Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is scheduled for release on June 26, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch date.
