Blade Runner 2 is already generating a lot of interest, and it's just got about ten times more interesting: Robin Wright will now appear in a "key role". It's quite a change for the House of Cards actress, who will switch out the Underwoods' backhanded political antics for a part in the long-awaited sci-fi sequel. That's not to say we won't see her rockin' more killer power-suits and generally being badass... because we don't know who she's playing. Yet.
Original helmer Ridley Scott will produce the movie but not direct, instead handing over the reins to Sicario's Denis Villeneuve. He's set to direct from a script by Hampton Fancher (who co-wrote the original) and Michael Green (Alien: Covenant). Story details are being kept under lock and key for now, but we do know that it takes place several decades after the 1982 original and will involve the return of Harrison Ford's replicant hunter Rick Deckard.
