Ryan Gosling: 'Yes, I'm starring in the Blade Runner sequel'

Ryan Gosling has confirmed long-running reports linking him to the Blade Runner sequel.

The actor went on the record about the much-anticipated Denis Villeneuve film while promoting his latest movie The Big Short during an interview with Collider.

Gosling will lead the cast of the new sci-fi film, taking over from Harrison Ford, who starred in Ridley Scott's cult 1982 classic.

But he refused to give out any more details, joking, "There's a chip in me that will explode if I say anything else."
