Alcon Entertainment claims that Harrison Ford have been offered to reprise his role as Rick Deckard for “Blade Runner 2” and it seems official, I take it? For a long while, Harrison himself has expressed a lot of interest in coming back to the role if Ridley needed him. I’d take this news with a grain of salt for now so don’t get excited yet. I won’t believe it until Harrison says so himself.

Looks like Harrison wants to play all of his well-known roles for one more time before he gets too old. He’s game for playing Han Solo again. He said he’s game to playing Rick Deckard again. He’s also trying to get Indiana Jones going again.
One role I’d love to see him come back to is Jack Ryan ’cause I thought Harrison played the best Jack Ryan. I thought, “Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger” were great flicks.
I thought “Blade Runner” was great so hopefully Harrison returns. I’d like to see him and Ridley reunite.

This is dangerous ground. I can see him coming back and doing some other roles but this one is very tough. First it is going to be hard because this film has to be done “just right” and not be a failure (not just money earned). Second he is going to have to play this character very under-stated just like in the first one.
I would be excited to see this but almost fearful of it.
Even if the first one wasn’t very successful, I think Ridley wants to continue the story ’cause he has more of a story to tell. I think they’ll do a good job. A lot of people in this generation may have not seen the first one but I think the sequel will bring a lot more people to the first one. Ridley is the master at sci-fi and I’m sure Harrison will play the character the same way like he did in the first one.
I’m looking forward to seeing how they’re gonna do the sequel.
