THE MARTIAN'S Mackenzie Davis Joins Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling in BLADE RUNNER 2

Blade Runner 2 continues to add to its cast, and the film's latest addition is another former collaborator of Ridley Scott's. Mackenzie Davis, who had a supporting role in Scott's sci-fi movie The Martian, has come on board the Blade Runner sequel, but we aren't sure which character she's playing. Based purely on looks alone, I wouldn't be surprised if her character is related to Robin Wright's. Take a look at this picture from AMC's Halt and Catch Fire — she's a dead ringer for a young Wright.

In any case, she joins Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Dave Bautista, Ana De Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, and Carla Juri in the film, which is being directed by Sicario and Prisoners helmer Denis Villeneuve and shot by legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins. Filming begins this summer, and the movie recently upgraded its release date from January of 2018 to October of 2017, indicating that the studio has some confidence that this is going to be an event movie worth checking out on the big screen. Fingers crossed it turns out well.
