13 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Movie Characters

10. Officer K (Ryan Gosling) - Blade Runner 2049

The Role: An LAPD Officer who uncovers a devastating secret that threatens humanity's very existence, causing him to seek out the self-exiled former blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) to prevent the catastrophe.

Why You Should Be Excited: Apart from the insane amount of talent attached to this movie, Ryan Gosling is such a fine fit for a role like this. Like Harrison Ford back when he starred in the original movie, Gosling has a rare combination of handsome grit and acting gravitas that's perfect for sci-fi noir, and as long as he isn't simply playing "the new Deckard", there's a lot of room here for the two actors to play off one another superbly.

To see Gosling working with a director of Denis Villeneuve's caliber should at least turn up some very interesting results indeed.
