The legendary actress adds another genre franchise to her impressive body of work.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once academy award-winner, Star Trek star, and action queen of our hearts Michelle Yeoh is coming to the world of Blade Runner . Variety reports that Yeoh has been tapped to play a major lead role in Amazon ’s upcoming sequel series to Denis Villeneuve ’s Blade Runner 2049, currently titled Blade Runner 2099. Yeoh will purportedly play a character named Olwen , a replicant who is in facing the end of her life.
Formally ordered by Amazon as a limited series back in 2022, 2099 has been in the works for a while, with original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott’s involvement starting well before the series found a home at the streamer, while Shining Girl’s Silka Luisa is set as 2099's showrunner. We’ll bring you more on Amazon’s plans for Blade Runner as and when we learn them.
