Will We See Deckard Return In “Blade Runner” Sequel?

So, not too long ago it was revealed that Hampton Fancher (who wrote the script for the original “Blade Runner”) is returning to write what was also revealed to be a sequel rather than the rumored prequel.

After “Prometheus”… Ridley Scott plans on working on the follow up to “Blade Runner”. Scott recently revealed that the protagonist of the film would be a female but has expressed interest in having Ford return as well. “I don’t think it’ll be Harry [starring]. But I’ve got to have him in it somewhere. That’d be amusing.”

But before any of that begins Sir Ridley Scott is set to direct “The Counselor”, a “morality tale” about a lawyer who foolishly dabbles in the drugs trade. And after that hopefully he can start work on the next “Blade Runner”… unless a sequel to “Prometheus” benches it.

Do we need more Deckard? Will the now 71 year old Harrison Ford do it? Will there be Xenomorphs or not? Was that last one a joke? Yes it was. But as for the rest…

We will just have to wait and see. The yet untitled sequel is set to film next year with a 2014 release.
