AceShowbiz - Dave Bautista is apparently the next star joining the untitled Blade Runner project. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star hinted that he'd be involved in the upcoming sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 film in a cryptic Twitter post he shared over the weekend.
"I can't wait to share some really exciting news...," he wrote, captioning a black-and-white photo of himself. Fans quickly assumed that the news would have something to do with "Blade Runner" after noticing that he's holding an origami unicorn, something extensively used in the first film.
