Blade Runner 2049 Synopsis Suggests Harrison Ford Possibly A Keeper Of 'Replicants' In Film Sequel; Director Says Ford Is One

This 2017, aside from his Han Solo adventures at LucasFilm and "Star Wars," sci-fi veteran actor Harrison Ford is returning in "Blade Runner 2049" with "Deadpool" star Ryan Gosling. Officer Rick Deckard disappeared during the first film and fans of the universe believe that his love for a "replicant" could possibly have made him a keeper of the robots -- which could set him at odds against Gosling's "Officer K."

According to ComicBook.com, Ford's presence in the film may be scarce as the narrative focuses on "Officer K" mostly given the film production went on for months without his presence. It may just be the "long-buried secret" described in the film synopsis that could "plunge what's left of society into chaos."

Rick Deckard may have turned into a "replicant" himself. According to original movie director Ridley Scott, Deckard is a "replicant" himself. Harrison Ford said in an interview that Deckard is human. According to a new director, Denis Villeneuve, Scott never wanted to solve his movie's riddles despite the obvious fact that "replicants" have a four-year lifespan and if Ford's character was one, he should have been long dead -- which he is not as evident in the trailers.

Fans had mixed emotions about the "Blade Runner" sequel with "2049." According to Slate, the movie will keep the voiceover that annoyed everyone in the original movie. Slate Contributor Sam Adams said it is not clear whether Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard would play a significant role in the movie and suggested that regardless of what happens, it may just be that "Deckard will be there to explain it all" with a disinterested monotone voiceover similar to classic noir film "The Maltese Falcon."

Harrison Ford is known as the sci-fi "badass" for playing roles such as memorable "Star Wars" hero rogue trader Han Solo and Indiana Jones. His recent sci-fi role in "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" had killed his character Han Solo off the series in a dramatic twist.
