Variety is reporting that Robin Wright is in talks with Alcon Entertainment about joining the cast of the upcoming Blade Runner sequel, with the House of Cards star set for a major role in the follow-up to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic – although it’s unclear whether she will be portraying a human character or a replicant.
The as-yet-untitled Blade Runner 2 will see Harrison Ford returning as Rick Deckard, while he’ll be joined in the cast by Ryan Gosling. Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) is directing, from a script by Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original movie) and Michael Green (Green Lantern). Fancher has crafted the story with Ridley Scott, who will serve as executive producer.
