But who is he?

At the moment, details remain scarce when it comes to the upcoming ‘Blade Runner’ sequel. But Abdi did reveal that he’s shot some scenes with Ryan Gosling.

I can’t help wondering whether we’ll be getting a variation of the classic J.F Sebastian role we saw in Blade Runner – the eccentric scientist who specialises in replicants. But for now, we’ll have to wait and see.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ takes place 30 years after the original film, with Officer Q (Ryan Gosling) attempting to track down the original Blade Runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) for a mysterious, unknown purpose.

And that’s about all we know so far.

So how did Barkhad Abdi feel about living up to the original movie?

“It’s not pressure, it’s a blessing,” he explained. “But for me, I do everything that I do to the full extent like it’s the last one. I feel an obligation to [surpass] Captain Phillips — that’s my goal. So every time I have an opportunity, I like to do what I can, because I’m all about this.”

‘Blade Runner 2049’ stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Jared Leto, Robin Wright and Ana de Armas.

Denis Villeneuve directed the movie based on a script by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ heads to cinemas on 6 October.
