Here we are – fresh off the back of some absolutely horrendous criticism of his role as The Joker in ‘Suicide Squad‘, Jared Leto has somehow scored another job. He’s been confirmed to star in the ‘Blade Runner‘ sequel.
Studio CEO’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson have said that Leto’s character won’t be low-key, he’ll be playing a major role, and they’ve promised fans a ‘memorable, never-before-seen’ character.
The confirmed cast as it stands includes Leto, Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Carla Juri, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi, David Dastmalchian, Hiam Abbass, Lennie James, and Dave Bautista.
We don’t have a huge amount of info about the new film yet, just that it’s set several decades after the original, and Ford is reprising his role as Rick Deckard.
While seeing the sequel of such an iconic film come together is super exciting, what’s even MORE exciting is thinking about how Harrison Ford would react if Jared Leto tried his ‘method acting’ bollocks on him.
Imagine grumpy, old Han Solo receiving a dead rat or a used condom in his dressing room. Just imagine how that would go down. Ford would punch Leto right in the noggin. He’d probably hurt him really, really….
