According to /Film, James recently signed on to play a yet unspecified role in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming sequel to the 1982 science-fiction classic ‘Blade Runner’. He joins an ensemble cast that includes Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, and Dave Bautista.
James is best known for his acclaimed performance as Morgan Jones on AMC’s zombie series ‘The Walking Dead’.

Gosling is set to play a yet identified lead protagonist.
The original film was directed by Ridley Scott and written for the big screen by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. It was released on June 25, 1982 to mixed reviews. According to The Numbers, the film earned $33.14 million worldwide on a production budget of $28 million. Although it underperformed in North America, it soon established itself as a cult classic.
