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

by Charlotte May 18,2025

Death Stranding fans, brace yourselves for an exciting update! The highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is slated for release in June, and the franchise's leading star, actor Norman Reedus, has been dropping some tantalizing hints about the game. During a recent interview with IGN, Reedus not only teased elements of the upcoming game but also shared insights into the planned film adaptation of the series, which is being developed by Michael Sarnoski and A24.

When asked about the possibility of portraying himself in the film adaptation, Reedus expressed enthusiasm, saying, "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 has sparked excitement among fans eager to see how the game's narrative will translate to the big screen.

In the same interview, Reedus addressed his initial confusion with the first game and how his perspective has evolved with the sequel. He emphasized his 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."

Reedus's enthusiasm for the project is palpable, as he described his experience working on the Death Stranding series: "It’s always a trip working on those things. It’s great, but it’s wild."

Mark your calendars, as Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on June 26, 2025. Fans can look forward to a deeper narrative, increased action, and the unique vision that only Hideo Kojima can deliver.
