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

Death Stranding fans, get ready for an exciting journey. The highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is slated for release on June 26, 2025. In a recent interview with IGN, the franchise's star, Norman Reedus, shared intriguing details about the upcoming game and hinted at the future film adaptation. When asked if he would play himself in the movie, which is being developed by Michael Sarnoski and A24, Reedus enthusiastically responded, "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."

Reedus also touched on his experience with the first game and his perspective on the sequel. Despite admitting to initial confusion with the original Death Stranding, he expressed a deep trust in the game's creator, Hideo Kojima. "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 remarked. "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."

Regardless of the complexities involved in the Death Stranding universe, Reedus is thrilled to be part of the project. "It’s always a trip working on those things," he shared with IGN. "It’s great, but it’s wild."
