Blade Runner has at all times been recognized for its props, like these unforgettable weapons and autos. But now we’ve bought samurai swords? Bigger weapons and autos? Black Lotus is taking issues up a notch.

That’s particularly fascinating as a result of the story is about between the occasions of the 1982 Ridley Scott movie and 2017 Denis Villeneuve movie. We know the place issues start, and we all know the place they’re going. But, someday in between, we’ll observe a model new replicant named Elle (voiced by Jessica Henwick in English and Arisa Shida in Japanese) who has deep ties to the rising mythology of futuristic Los Angeles. She’ll be jointed by characters voiced by Will Yun Lee, Samira Wiley, Brian Cox, Wes Bentley, Josh Duhamel, Peyton List, Stephen Root, Barkhad Abdi, Gregg Henry, Henry Czerny, and Jason Spisak.
