Sylvia Hoeks “Blade Runner 2049”Īs the replicant sidekick of Jared Leto’s nefarious replicant-making bigwig Niander Wallace, Hoeks’ Luv digs into some of the darker sides of the “Blade Runner 2049.” In a word, she’s formidable (and she’s also outfitted in a large number of very kicky coats).

Next up: a starring role in the drama “Teacher,” the post-apocalyptic drama “The Domestics,” and a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with “Ant-Man and the Wasp.” On the writing side of things, Dastmalchian recently penned the drama “All Creatures Here Below,” in which he also stars. The film enjoyed a hearty festival run, including a SXSW win for Dastmalchian’s script, hailed especially for its “courage in storytelling.” Between “Blade Runner 2049” and a turn on “Twin Peaks: The Return,” Dastmalchian is having a very big year so far, maybe even big enough to earn household name status. In 2014, the former football star wrote and starred in the wrenching drama “Animals,” which follows a drug-addicted couple as they linger on the fringes of society, battling homelessness, drug addiction, and each other.

Genre fans know her from Eli Roth’s wicked “Knock Knock,” in which she plays one-half of a devious duo who lead star Keanu Reeves on a truly wild downward spiral, and a later part in the Spanish horror film “Anabel.” She re-teamed with Reeves for the little-seen 2016 drama “Exposed,” but most will know her from her biggest Hollywood role yet: as Miles Teller’s beleaguered girlfriend in “War Dogs,” in which she brought genuine frustration and pain to a Todd Phillips’ latest story of dudes-gone-wild. Next up: Andrea Di Stefano’s “Three Seconds” and the car chase actioner “Overdrive.” David Dastmalchian “Blade Runner 2049” Stephen Vaughan (Note the way her face appears throughout the film in slightly altered states.) The Cuban actress made her debut at the age of 16 in Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón’s “Virgin Rose,” and while she followed that up with a number of Spanish-speaking roles, most audiences will likely recognize her from work she did after moving to America in 2014. As Officer K’s love interest and frequent companion, de Armas’ Joi is the source of most of the film’s emotional heft, and her connection with Gosling bolsters what could have been a mechanical performance into something far more compelling. We’re calling it now: “Blade Runner 2049” is Ana de Armas’ breakout role. Ana de Armas “Blade Runner 2049” Warner Bros. It’s only appropriate that a future-oriented world like the one on display in the “Blade Runner” franchise would spawn new stars, but they’ve shined quite brightly before.
