Looks like former WWE champ turned actor Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy, Spectre) is set to join Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling and the recently annouced Robin Wright in the sequel to Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece, Blade Runner.

Nothing offcial just yet, but as you can see from the image below it's highly unlikely Bautista is teasing any other project, as the origami unicorn he's holding has become synonymous with the original movie since audiences were treated to that much-discussed, ambiguous ending.

Sicario director Denis Villeneuve will helm the picture from a script by Hampton Fancher (co-writer of the original) and Michael Green.

Blade Runner 2 is currently scheduled for release on Jan. 12, 2018.

Good for him, he's really making it on the big screen

Hopefully Blade Runner 2 doesn't have a dance-off in it.

@PietroMaximoff - Flame Baiting. Nice. Now I get why you defend Jollem so much.

01928401 - 4/3/2016, 8:23 AM

@SpideySupes94 - I'd rather defend Jollem than the nursery rhyme MCU.

@PietroMaximoff - Well, there you go. You're officially a troll and I'm blocking you. Have fun trolling with your troll buddy. Good Day.

Alright, and not that I am complaining, but they better not dick this sequel up. Blade Runner is one of my top five FAVORITE movies of all time, and my favorite Science Fiction film. While that is just my opinion, specifically, I would hate to see the history of great SCI-FI cinema that stands the test of time wasted because Hollywood can’t leave well enough alone.
That is all….*steps of soap box*

It's like Oprah is producing this movie.
"You get a role in Blade Runner 2! And You get a role in Blade Runner 2! EVERYBODY GETS A ROLE IN BLADE RUNNER 2!"
