Jared Leto has nabbed a role in the Blade Runner sequel, Variety reports. He joins an already solid cast, including Harrison Ford (who will reprise his role from the 1982 original), Ryan Gosling, and Robin Wright. Details on Leto’s character are not yet known.
The original Blade Runner was set in a dystopian version of Los Angeles in 2019; the sequel is said to take place several decades later. The movie will be directed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival), and is set for release on October 6th, 2017.
