According to The Playlist, Villeneuve spoke at length to French publication Allocine and told them that Blade Runner 2049 will “not necessarily” address the ambiguity surrounding Deckard’s humanity – or, possibly, his lack thereof.
However, the latest word has it that Villeneuve’s new movie may not directly address the question of whether or not Deckard is a replicant at all.
Fresh off the critical and box office success of his sci-fi drama Arrival, Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve is all set to turn heads yet again with the upcoming Blade Runner 2049 – a continuation of the classic Blade Runner film directed by Ridley Scott, way back in 1982.
Those in the know might nevertheless begin to mount their own fan theories despite Villeneuve’s reticence to address the problem directly – especially considering the fact that Nexus 6 replicants were meant to survive within an allotted four-year lifespan.
