Oscar winning actor Jared Leto has been added to the cast of Blade Runner 2. Variety reports that the Suicide Squad actor's role in the film is being kept under wraps, which isn't a surprise. Practically everything about this movie is a mystery — the plot, most of the characters, etc. — but we do know who's involved with making it, and that'll have to be enough until we find out more.

Harrison Ford (who seems really stoked about this movie) is reprising his role as Rick Deckard from the first film, and he'll be joined by Leto, Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Carla Juri, MacKenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi, and Dave Bautista. Director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) is handling the directing duties on this one, reteaming with legendary cinematographer Roger Deakins. (Side note: Villeneuve's upcoming sci-fi film, Arrival, looks very intriguing.) Blade Runner 2 — or whatever it's eventually called — hits theaters on October 6, 2017.

What kind of role do you think Leto will play in the movie? And do you think he'll end up having more screen time in this film than he did as The Joker in Suicide Squad? I'm guessing Harrison Ford wouldn't react too well Leto's Method acting bullshit on set (can you imagine Ford's face if he received a dead pig in the mail?), so he'd probably be better off avoiding that type of behavior on this movie.

The way Leto is going, he'll end up as another Heath Ledger.
