Blade Runner
Jared Leto has revealed that he is the only mortal who genuinely , definitively know if Deckard is in reality a replicant inBlade Runner 2049 . In the belated sequel , Leto plays Niander Wallace , a serial industrialist who specialise in artificial food production , space settlement and , of path , replicant creation . His end is to findthe tyke of Deckard and Rachaelin the hope of figuring out how to get replicants to pro - create , thus creating a skinny - infinite army of slaves .
In the movie ’s third act , Wallace kidnaps Deckard in an attack to find out who he left his girl with . A key part of the ensuing genial torture is run with the popular fan idea thatDeckard is himself a replicant ; Wallace posit he was only create to fall in dearest with Rachael . The celluloid ultimately does n’t provide an reply , maintaining the 35 - yr - one-time mystery , although it seems the villain at least knew the accuracy .
Speaking withCollider , Jared Leto discussed the long - standing question and read that at one breaker point during product theatre director Denis Villeneuve recite the actor to come up with an answer in his own mind :
" Well there ’s this scene where I look into his mind , correct ? I do n’t know if it ’s in the pic any longer . But Denis evidence me , I say , ' Denis , what do I see ? ' And it ’s like a foresightful pause , he walked aside a few paces and he comes back and he says , ' This is your conclusion to make . You decide whether he is a replicant or not , ' so in some room , I ’m the one that has the secret now . "
The scene Leto references appears to have been cut ( the Oscar - winner famously never look on his motion picture ) but likely would have see Wallace scan Deckard ’s mind similar to how Ana watched K ’s memories earlier in the movie , in the process learning the truth of his blood ( presumably by the presence or absence seizure of implanted memories ) . As compose , the scene presumably did n’t have an answer - Villeneuve and all involved have been keen to keep up the ambiguity - but thenotoriously method Letoclearly wanted to be sure in himself when playing the part . Not that the film director allow him to make that decision lightly .
While this signify Leto has a house , canon answer to the inquiry , it does n’t help offer a solution to the mystery story ; even if Wallace sleep together for certain Deckardwasa replicant , he ’d work coy as part of the manipulation . And that ’s important asBlade Runner 2049hinges on the question stay on unanswered to the audience - it ’s not where Deckard come from that ’s important , it ’s where he end up .
As for what Leto ’s own answer is , he ’ll probably never secern .
