Predicting How 2017’s Biggest Movies Will End
8. Ryan Gosling "Retires" Deckard - Blade Runner 2049
Basically nothing is known about the plot of Blade Runner 2049 beyond the fact that Harrison Ford reprises his role as Rick Deckard, there are a lot of suspiciously pristine-looking actors in this movie who would make great replicants (Robin Wright, Jared Leto and Ana de Armas), and there's that nagging, 35-year mystery about whether or not Deckard is in fact himself a replicant.
It's entirely possible that Denis Villeneuve's follow-up will ignore the mystery completely and go in a totally other direction, but given how desperately fans have been craving closure ever since Deckard looked at that paper unicorn, it would be tremendously satisfying to see Deckard finally "retired" by a younger Blade Runner, as is presumably the role Ryan Gosling will be playing.
Then again, seeing two of Ford's most iconic creations essentially killed off by younger actors within a two-year period might be too much for many to handle.
