It proceed without saying that fan have lots of enquiry about next yr ’s Blade Runner subsequence , Blade Runner 2049 . How has that world changed ? Who are Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto playing ? And , if Deckard is still around , it ’s somewhat obvious he ’s not a Replicant , right ?
“ Not of necessity , ” say theatre director Denis Villeneuve in an interview with Gallic site Allocine . From the original Blade Runner , we recognize that Tyrell Corporation Nexus-6 Replicants are only supposed to have a four - year life span . And even if that could be pass on Earth , for Deckard ( who will still be played by Harrison Ford ) to stay active for 30 years , from 2019 to 2049 , would be somewhat miraculous .
In quotation mark roughly translated from the French - spoken language clause , Villeneuve said the mystery and tension of the first film are things they want to keep in the Modern one — therefore , they do n’t want to definitively puzzle out the question of whether Deckard is a Replicant or not . The director make it sound like no subject if Deckard is human and survived for another 30 years naturally , or he ’s a Replicant and rule out how to extend his life , neither will be addressed in the film . Or maybe they will . It ’s wholly possible that , almost year from release , Villeneuve simply does n’t want to break one of the motion picture ’s big revelations .
We go for the film does n’t , though , and since Villeneuve is such a fan of the original , you tend to believe him . “ Is Deckard a Replicant ? ” is one of those great science fiction debates fans have enjoyed for decades . And while more and more evidence has mounted up in favour of it with alternate cuts of the film , there still is n’t any 100 percent sure answer . No rooter would really need that to end . The mystery is part of the sport .
Blade Runner 2049 , directed by Denis Villeneuve , opens October 6 , 2017 . It asterisk Ryan Gosling , Harrison Ford , Robin Wright , Jared Leto , Ana de Armas , Mackenzie Davis , Barkhad Abdi , and Dave Bautista .
