'''''Blade Runner 2049''''' is a 2017 American [[neo-noir]] [[science fiction film]] directed by [[Denis Villeneuve]] and written by [[Hampton Fancher]] and [[Michael Green (writer)|Michael Green]].<ref name="DuneIW"/> A sequel to the 1982 film ''[[Blade Runner]]'', the film stars [[Ryan Gosling]] and [[Harrison Ford]], with [[Ana de Armas]], [[Sylvia Hoeks]], [[Robin Wright]], [[Mackenzie Davis]], [[Dave Bautista]], and [[Jared Leto]] in supporting roles. Ford and [[Edward James Olmos]] reprise their roles from the original film. Gosling plays K, a Nexus-9 [[replicant]] "blade runner" who uncovers a secret that threatens to destabilize society and the course of civilization.

Ideas for a ''Blade Runner'' sequel were first proposed in the 1990s, but licensing issues stalled their development. [[Andrew Kosove]] and [[Broderick Johnson]] obtained the film rights from [[Bud Yorkin]]. [[Ridley Scott]] stepped down as the film's initial director and worked as an executive producer, while Villeneuve was later appointed to direct. ''Blade Runner 2049'' was financed through a partnership between [[Alcon Entertainment]] and [[Sony Pictures Releasing|Sony Pictures]], as well as a Hungarian government-funded tax rebate. [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]], who had distributed its predecessor, released the film on behalf of Alcon in North America, while Sony handled distribution in international markets. [[Principal photography]] took place mostly at two soundstages in [[Budapest]] over four months from July to November 2016.

''Blade Runner 2049'' premiered in Los Angeles on October 3, 2017, and was released in the United States on October 6, 2017. The film received acclaim from critics, who praised multiple aspects including cast performances, directing, cinematography, and faithfulness to the original film. It grossed $267.5{{nbsp}}million worldwide against a production budget of $150–185{{nbsp}}million for a reported loss of $80 million. ''Blade Runner 2049'' received many [[List of accolades received by Blade Runner 2049|accolades]], including [[90th Academy Awards|Academy Awards]] for [[Academy Award for Best Cinematography|Best Cinematography]] and [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Best Visual Effects]] out of five nominations, and eight [[71st British Academy Film Awards|British Academy Film Awards]] nominations, winning for [[BAFTA Award for Best Cinematography|Best Cinematography]] and [[BAFTA Award for Best Special Visual Effects|Best Special Visual Effects]]. A sequel television series, ''Blade Runner 2099'', is in development at [[Amazon Studios]], with Scott set to return as executive producer.

== Plot ==
<!-- Per [[WP: FILMPLOT]] plot summaries should be between 400-700 words -->
In 2049, 30 years after the events of ''[[Blade Runner]]'', [[Bioengineering|bioengineered humans]] known as [[replicant]]s are slaves. [[List of Blade Runner characters#K|K]] (short for serial number, KD6-3.7), a Nexus-9 replicant, works for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as a "blade runner", an officer who hunts and "retires" (kills) rogue replicants. After retiring replicant [[List of Blade Runner characters#Sapper Morton|Sapper Morton]], K finds a box buried under a tree at Morton's farm, containing the remains of a female replicant who died during a [[caesarean section]], demonstrating that replicants can reproduce biologically, previously thought impossible. K's superior, [[List of Blade Runner characters#Lt. Joshi|Lt. Joshi]], fears this knowledge could lead to war between humans and replicants and orders K to retire the replicant child.

K visits the Wallace Corporation, successor to the defunct Tyrell Corporation in the manufacture of replicants, where DNA archives identify the deceased female as [[List of Blade Runner characters#Rachael|Rachael]], an experimental replicant. K learns of Rachael's romantic ties with former blade runner [[Rick Deckard]]. CEO [[List of Blade Runner characters#Niander Wallace|Niander Wallace]] wants the secret to replicant reproduction to expand interstellar colonization. He sends his replicant enforcer [[List of Blade Runner characters#Luv|Luv]] to follow K.

At Morton's farm, K finds 6.10.21 carved into the tree trunk and recognizes it from a childhood memory of a wooden toy horse. Because replicant memories are artificial, K's holographic A.I. girlfriend [[List of Blade Runner characters#Joi|Joi]] believes this is evidence that K was born, not created. He discovers in LAPD records two children born on that date with identical DNA aside from the [[Allosome|sex chromosome]], but only the boy is listed as alive. K tracks the child to an orphanage but the records from that year are missing. K recognizes the orphanage from his memories and finds the toy horse where he remembers hiding it.

Replicant memory designer [[List of Blade Runner characters#Ana Stelline|Dr. Ana Stelline]] confirms that his memory of the orphanage is not artificial, leading K to conclude he is Rachael's son. At LAPD headquarters K implies to Joshi that he has killed the replicant child. He fails a baseline test marking him as rogue. Joshi gives him 48 hours to pass the test, or he will be 'retired'. Joi hires replicant prostitute Mariette as a surrogate for Joi to have sex with K. Mariette is part of the replicant freedom movement and leaves a tracker on K. Analysis of the toy horse leads K to the ruins of Las Vegas. He finds Deckard, who tells him that he is the father of Rachael's child and scrambled the birth records to protect the child's identity; Deckard left the child in the custody of the replicant freedom movement.

Luv kills Joshi and tracks K to Las Vegas. She kidnaps Deckard, destroys Joi, and leaves K to die. Using Mariette's tracker, the replicant freedom movement rescues K. When their leader, [[List of Blade Runner characters#Freysa Sadeghpour|Freysa]], tells him that Rachael's child was a girl, K understands that he is not Rachael's child, deduces that Stelline is her daughter and that the toy horse memory is hers, one she implanted in replicants whose memories she designed. To prevent Deckard leading Wallace to Stelline or the freedom movement, Freysa asks K to kill Deckard.

Luv takes Deckard to meet Wallace, who offers Deckard a duplicate Rachael in exchange for revealing what he knows. Deckard refuses, and Luv kills the duplicate. As Luv transports Deckard to be interrogated, K intercedes and tries to rescue Deckard. He fights and drowns Luv but is mortally wounded. He stages Deckard's death to protect him from Wallace and the replicant freedom movement before taking Deckard to Stelline's office and handing him her toy horse. As K lies on the steps looking up at the falling snow, Deckard enters the building and meets his daughter for the first time.{{efn|In an interview with ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', ''Blade Runner 2049'' screenwriter Michael Green confirmed that K dies as he lies on the steps.<ref name="GreenEW" />}}

=== Development ===
[[File:Denis Villeneuve Cannes 2018.jpg|thumb|alt=|upright=0.8|Director Denis Villeneuve credits ''Blade Runner'' for igniting his passion for filmmaking.]]

From the 1990s, licensing disputes over [[Philip K. Dick]]'s 1968 novel ''[[Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?]]'' had deterred the creation of sequels to the science fiction drama ''[[Blade Runner]]'' (1982).<ref name="DeakinsBC" /> Director [[Ridley Scott]] conceived [[Ridley Scott's unrealised projects|two ultimately unrealized projects]] vaguely connected to the ''Blade Runner'' canon in the interim.<ref name="isbn9780810869523-pp225" /><ref name="Purefold" /> Scott's second project, a collaboration with his son [[Luke Scott (director)|Luke]] and younger brother [[Tony Scott|Tony]] titled ''Purefold'', had been imagined as an episodic [[Web series|webseries]] examining conceptions of empathy.<ref name="Purefold" />

Nearly three decades after the film's release, [[Alcon Entertainment]] co-founders [[Andrew Kosove]] and [[Broderick Johnson]] purchased the intellectual property from producer [[Bud Yorkin]]. The terms of Alcon's acquisition prohibited the remake of the original ''Blade Runner'' film, but entitled the company rights to syndication, franchising, and derivative media such as prequels and sequels.<ref name="Rebootio9" /> No longer satisfied with the profits of their smaller-budget features, and with investor funding scarce, Kosove and Johnson sought to increase Alcon's output of [[blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster]] films: "If you don't have repetitive cash flow, which is a fancy way of saying being in the sequel business, you are going to be in trouble eventually."<ref name="AlconTHR" /> Progress on a new ''Blade Runner'' feature soon accelerated when Kosove named [[Christopher Nolan]] one of his ideal choices to direct.<ref name="Kosoveio9" /> However, Nolan said he never planned to direct, despite being an admirer of the [[Blade Runner (franchise)|''Blade Runner'' franchise]].<ref name="NolanLATimes" />

By August 2011, Alcon had announced Ridley Scott's signing as the film's director to the press.<ref name="AlconDeadline" /> The British filmmaker had long desired a sequel to expand upon the subject matter.<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" /> After securing Scott's services, the studio assigned [[Michael Green (writer)|Michael Green]] and a returning [[Hampton Fancher]] the responsibility for writing the script.<ref name="GreenDeadline" /><ref name="FancherDeadline" /> Alcon producers provided some insight into their vision but were unsure of how to approach the ''Blade Runner'' story,<ref name="ScottBBC" /><ref name="ScottVariety" /> hence they and the normally candid Scott were tight-lipped when questioned further about the sequel's artistic direction in interviews conducted during pre-production.<ref name="ScottWSJ" /><ref name="FordIGN" /><ref name="ScottMTV" /> Ultimately, Scott resigned from his duties once his existing commitment to ''[[Alien: Covenant]]'' (2017) took precedence, and retained partial oversight as an executive producer.<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" /><ref name="ScottResignVerge" /> He also made significant contributions to the screenplay, albeit in an uncredited role.<ref name="ScottVulture" />

''Blade Runner 2049'' was Alcon's second collaboration with director [[Denis Villeneuve]], who they called for a meeting at a cafe in rural New Mexico to negotiate an offer. They had an existing professional relationship from ''[[Prisoners (2013 film)|Prisoners]]'' (2013).<ref name="VilleneuveDeadline" /> Villeneuve credits ''Blade Runner'' for inspiring his passion for filmmaking,<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" /> but hesitated to accept the assignment at first as he feared tarnishing the franchise's legacy.<ref name="VilleneuveDeadline" /> Nevertheless, he liked the screenplay and was assured by Fancher's investment in the project.<ref name="VilleneuveDeadline" /><ref name="ConceptArtEW" /> Villeneuve preserved elements of the original film by modernizing ''Blade Runner''{{'s}} [[retrofuturism|retrofuturistic]] onscreen world, which he saw as imperative for an authentic story.<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" />

A scene from [[Steven Spielberg]]{{'s}} ''[[Ready Player One (film)|Ready Player One]]'' (2018) set in the ''Blade Runner'' universe was excluded from the film's finished cut. Spielberg had sought copyright approval during the filming of ''Blade Runner 2049'', which Alcon producers refused as they feared the explicit reference would affect their commercial prospects, even though ''Ready Player One'' was released months later.<ref name="ReadyPlayerOne" />

=== Casting ===
[[File:Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford (35397101293).jpg|thumb|left|alt=|Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford promoting the film at the 2017 [[San Diego Comic-Con]]]]

[[Harrison Ford]] and [[Ryan Gosling]] were ''Blade Runner 2049''{{'}}s first significant casting choices.<ref name="FordDeadline" /><ref name="GoslingDeadline" /> Gossip about Ford's participation had been circulating in the media since the project's conception, claims which the producers initially denied,<ref name="FordIGN" /><ref name="ScottMTV" /> having only approached the actor for a part in 2014.<ref name="FordDeadline2" /> Alcon did not publicly announce their signing until the following year.<ref name="FordDeadline" /> Ford had expressed interest in reprising his role in past interviews and was enthusiastic about the ''Blade Runner 2049'' script.<ref name="FordDeadline2" /><ref name="FordVariety" /> The working conditions on set was another aspect of the production Ford was pleased with,<ref name="FordGQ" /> in contrast to the stressful shooting environment endured on ''Blade Runner''.<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" /><ref name="FordABC" /> Ford stated the thirty five-year passage of time, plus the synthesis of a new story with Deckard's already-established backstory, lent context necessary to playing his aged character.<ref name="FordABC" /> The only other returning ''Blade Runner'' actor, [[Edward James Olmos]], appears in a supporting part which pivots the main story.<ref name="OlmosTHR" />

The screenwriters tailored K specifically for Gosling,<ref name="BowieIW" /> but it was the opportunity to work with Villeneuve and experienced cinematographer [[Roger Deakins]], paired with his faith in the script, that convinced the actor to join ''Blade Runner 2049'' in his first leading role in a blockbuster production.<ref name="GoslingCollider" /><ref name="GoslingEW" /> Gosling had developed a reputation for his discriminating film choices; the prospect of working on big-budget franchise sets never enticed him,<ref name="GoslingEW" /> yet he trusted the filmmakers' instincts, and the thematic complexity of the script further reassured his decision.<ref name="Junkee" /> A longtime ''Blade Runner'' fan, the actor remarked that his first viewing experience of the film as a young teenager was profound: "It was one of the first films I had seen where it wasn't clear how I was supposed to feel when it was over. It really makes you question your idea of the hero and the villain, the idea of what it means to be human."<ref name="NYTimesDiscussion" /> ''Blade Runner 2049'' proved challenging for Gosling because of the production's scope.<ref name="GoslingEQ" /> Gosling also helped rewrite the dialog for the "baseline test" scene, which Villeneuve felt wasn't "aggressive" enough; Gosling suggested using a variation of the "dropping in"-technique developed by [[Shakespeare & Company (Massachusetts)|Shakespeare & Company]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/denis-villeneuve-interview-blade-runner-2049-marketing-and-design/|title=Denis Villeneuve interview: Blade Runner 2049, marketing and design|first=Ryan|last=Lambie|date=February 1, 2018|website=Den of Geek}}</ref>

An actress of national renown in Spain who aspired to break into English-speaking roles, [[Ana de Armas]] auditioned several times before landing the film's female lead.<ref name="deArmasW" /> After shooting for her first Hollywood film ''[[Hands of Stone]]'' (2016), de&nbsp;Armas settled in Los Angeles in pursuit of a role that did not [[Typecasting|typecast]] her ethnicity. She underwent four months of rigorous speech training to master her English before auditioning. Once the studio commenced production of ''Blade Runner 2049'', the actress said her fitness training provided the necessary mental space to prepare for the intense shooting schedule.<ref name="deArmasW" />

Villeneuve considered [[David Bowie]], one of the franchise's core influences, for the part of Niander Wallace until the musician died months prior to filming.<ref name="BowieIW" /> He and the producers subsequently looked at [[Jared Leto]], fresh off filming ''[[Suicide Squad (2016 film)|Suicide Squad]]'' (2016), as they felt he exuded Bowie's rockstar sensibility.<ref name="BowieIW" /><ref name="LetoVariety" /> Leto refrains from naming specific sources that shaped certain aspects of his character's persona; rather the actor cites real-life friends who work in [[Information technology|tech]] as a general influence.<ref name="LetoVox" /> Notorious for his unorthodox preparation for roles, Leto continued his unusual practices in ''Blade Runner 2049'' by wearing custom opaque contact lenses to work the set completely blind.<ref name="LetoIW" /> Villeneuve recalled his first day shooting with the actor: "He entered the room, and he could not see at all. He was walking with an assistant very slowly. It was like seeing Jesus walking into a temple. Everybody became super silent, and there was a kind of sacred moment. Everyone was in awe. It was so beautiful and powerful—I was moved to tears."<ref name="LetoIW" />

A raft of mostly young actors comprise ''Blade Runner 2049''{{'}}s supporting cast; [[David Dastmalchian]], [[Sylvia Hoeks]], [[Carla Juri]], [[Mackenzie Davis]], and [[Barkhad Abdi]] were lesser-known stars with years of expertise in independent cinema.<ref name="CastingIW" /> Among the few exceptions are [[Dave Bautista]], [[Hiam Abbass]], and [[Lennie James]], whose castings were revealed between April and July 2016;<ref name="CastingDeadline" /><ref name="CastingVariety" /><ref name="JamesDeadline" /> and [[Robin Wright]], assigned to one of three major female roles in ''Blade Runner 2049''.<ref name="WrightTHR" /> Wright's involvement had been rumored for weeks, but was not immediately confirmed by the filmmakers as her commitments to the [[Netflix]] series ''[[House of Cards (American TV series)|House of Cards]]'' momentarily stalled negotiations.<ref name="WrightTHR" />

It became apparent to Deakins that ''Blade Runner 2049'' would be one of his biggest undertakings because of the technical demands involved in realizing the onscreen universe.<ref name=Deakins1/> Deakins exercises full artistic control of his shoots, and the extent of his oversight meant a [[single-camera setup]] for the set—the British cinematographer rejected a studio [[line producer]]'s request for a [[multiple-camera setup|nine unit-camera setup]] because he firmly believed said technique would yield sloppy camerawork.<ref name=Deakins2>{{Cite web |url= https://www.indiewire.com/2020/04/blade-runner-2049-roger-deakins-refused-second-unit-1202223652/ |title= Roger Deakins Refused to Shoot 'Blade Runner 2049' the 'Sloppy' Way Hollywood Studios Expect |last=Sharf|first=Zack |website=[[IndieWire]]|date=April 8, 2020 |access-date=April 18, 2020|url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200419022344/https://www.indiewire.com/2020/04/blade-runner-2049-roger-deakins-refused-second-unit-1202223652/ |archive-date=April 19, 2020}}</ref> Rather, he and Villeneuve reprised the practical approach of their previous collaborations to capture the ''Blade Runner 2049'' scenes.<ref name="DeakinsBC"/><ref name=asc1/> They shot the project in 1.55:1 [[aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] from a single [[Arri Alexa#Alexa XT|Arri Alexa XT Studio]] camera with [[Carl Zeiss AG#Cinema lenses|Zeiss Master Prime lenses]], assisted with an attached [[crane shot|crane arm]] or a [[camera dolly|dolly]].<ref name=asc1/><ref name=Arri>{{Cite web |url= https://www.arri.com/en/company/arri-news/news-stories/2017/lighting-blade-runner-2049- |title= Lighting "Blade Runner 2049" |author=Staff|website=[[Arri]]|date=October 9, 2017 |access-date=April 18, 2020|url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200419022002/https://www.arri.com/en/company/arri-news/news-stories/2017/lighting-blade-runner-2049- |archive-date=April 19, 2020}}</ref> The filmmakers conducted tests with an Alexa 65 camera but preferred the XT Studio's somewhat grainy image quality, and the choice of lenses corresponded to the scale and lighting specifications of the scenes.

When Gassner was first approached for ''Blade Runner 2049'', he was called with a request from Villeneuve to observe the shape of passing [[street sweeper]]s. The designer had known Scott since 1982, when they first collaborated for the [[Francis Ford Coppola]]-directed musical ''[[One From the Heart]]''.<ref name="vf1"/> Redesigning the spinners then became one of his initial responsibilities. He and the filmmakers envisioned a harsh, angular design for the spinners, one intended to evoke the sense of technological innovation.<ref name="vf1"/> It was also up to Gassner to complete most of the ''Blade Runner 2049'' sets so producers could exercise full artistic control of the shoot. Gassner described the process as especially difficult as design elements had to be distinct but lore-faithful, with everything executed under a tight shooting schedule.<ref name="vf1">{{Cite web |url= https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-production-design |title= The Unlikely Inspiration Behind Blade Runner 2049's Futuristic Design |last=Miller |first=Julie |date=October 24, 2017 |website=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200504042429/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-production-design |archive-date=May 4, 2020 |access-date=May 4, 2020}}</ref>

When discussing the film, she stated she did not consider it a fashionable one. "I made costumes for the dark, wet, polluted, miserable world that Denis [Villeneuve] created. I had to hold myself back and remove anything too avant-garde or outré because it did not help the story.

"So I took it from there and made it tougher. Also, we did not want to do something science-fiction. We wanted to do it realistic. I did not want costumes with [lots of] zippers and plastic.

One particular point of contention in reviews of ''Blade Runner 2049'' was characterization: some critics, for example, saw K's romance with Joi as an idea of unrealized potential because the film explores their relationship only superficially, so Joi never seems to develop into a fleshed-out character.<ref name="av">{{Cite web |url= https://www.avclub.com/blade-runner-2049-creates-gorgeously-languid-spectacle-1819003907 |title= Blade Runner 2049 creates gorgeously languid spectacle from our memories of a classic |last=Dowd |first=A.A. |date=September 29, 2017 |website=[[The A.V.

=== Social commentary ===
Reviewing the film for ''[[Vice (magazine)#Website|Vice]]'', Charlotte Gush was critical of its portrayal of women, who she said were "either prostitutes, holographic housewives" or victims dying brutal deaths. While acknowledging that "[[misogyny]] was part of the [[dystopia]]" in Scott's 1982 original, she stated that the sequel was "eye-gougingly [[sexism|sexist]]".<ref name="gush">{{Cite web |last1=Gush |first1=Charlotte |title=Why Blade Runner 2049 is a Misogynistic Mess |url=https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/evpwga/blade-runner-2049-sexist-misogynistic-mess |website=[[Vice.com]] |access-date=October 18, 2017 |date=October 9, 2017|url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171019060633/https://i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/evpwga/blade-runner-2049-sexist-misogynistic-mess |archive-date=October 19, 2017}}</ref> Writing for ''[[The Guardian]]'', Anna Smith expressed similar concerns, stating that "sexualised images of women dominate the stunning futuristic cityscapes" and questioned whether the film catered heavily to [[Heterosexuality|heterosexual]] men.<ref name="theguardian-smith">{{Cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Anna |title=Is Blade Runner 2049 sexist – or a fair depiction of a dystopian future? |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/09/is-blade-runner-2049-a-sexist-film-or-a-fair-depiction-of-a-dystopic-future |access-date=October 19, 2017 |work=The Guardian |date=October 9, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171019000110/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/09/is-blade-runner-2049-a-sexist-film-or-a-fair-depiction-of-a-dystopic-future |archive-date=October 19, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> Sara Stewart of the ''[[New York Post]]'' entitled her review "You'll love the new Blade Runner—unless you're a woman".<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 4, 2017 |title=You'll love the new 'Blade Runner' — unless you're a woman |url=https://nypost.com/2017/10/04/youll-love-the-new-blade-runner-unless-youre-a-woman/ |access-date=February 28, 2022 |website=New York Post |language=en-US}}</ref>

Rachael Kaines of ''[[Moviepilot]]'' countered that "the gender politics in ''Blade Runner 2049'' are intentional": "The movie is about secondary citizens. Replicants. Orphans. Women. Slaves. Just by depicting these secondary citizens in subjugation doesn't mean that it is supportive of these depictions – they are a condemnation."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://moviepilot.com/p/is-blade-runner-2049-feminist/4387112 |title='Blade Runner 2049' May Be Set in the Future, But Do Its Female Characters Have One Foot in the Past? |first=Rachael |last=Kaines |date=October 23, 2017 |work=[[Moviepilot]].com |access-date=November 27, 2017|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201041812/https://moviepilot.com/p/is-blade-runner-2049-feminist/4387112 |archive-date=December 1, 2017}}</ref>

Helen Lewis of the ''[[New Statesman]]'' suggested that the film is "an uneasy feminist parable about controlling the means of reproduction" and that "its villain, Niander Wallace, is consumed by rage that women can do something he cannot":

<blockquote>Fertility is the perfect theme for the dystopia of ''Blade Runner 2049'' because of the western elite anxiety that over-educated, over-liberated women are having fewer children or choosing to opt-out of childbearing altogether. (One in five women is now childless by the age of 45; the rates are higher among women who have been to university.) Feminism is one potential solution to this problem: removing the barriers which make women feel that motherhood is a closing of doors. Another is to take flight and find another exploitable class to replace human females.{{nbsp}}... Maybe androids don't dream of electric sheep, but some human men certainly dream of electric wombs.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/film/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-uneasy-feminist-parable-about-controlling-means-reproduction |title=Blade Runner 2049 is an uneasy feminist parable about controlling the means of reproduction |first=Helen |last=Lewis |date=October 9, 2017 |work=[[New Statesman]] |access-date=November 27, 2017|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171119140447/https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/film/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-uneasy-feminist-parable-about-controlling-means-reproduction |archive-date=November 19, 2017 |df=mdy-all}}</ref></blockquote>

Quoting from viewer demographics for the film by ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'', Donald Clarke of ''[[The Irish Times]]'' indicated that female audiences seemed alienated from it, as just 35% of its audience was female.<ref>{{cite news |last=Clarke |first=Donald |date=October 9, 2017 |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/where-did-it-all-go-wrong-for-blade-runner-2049-1.3249386 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201042011/https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/where-did-it-all-go-wrong-for-blade-runner-2049-1.3249386 |archive-date=December 1, 2017 |title=Where did it all go wrong for Blade Runner 2049?|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] |access-date=November 27, 2017}}</ref>

''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'' magazine commented on the controversial aspects of the sex scene—involving K, the holographic Joi and replicant Mariette—calling it a "''robo-[[ménage à trois]]''", and contrasted it with the sex scene between [[Joaquin Phoenix]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] in ''[[Her (film)|Her]]'' (2013).<ref>{{cite web |last=Miller |first=Matt |date=October 9, 2017|url=http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a12808498/blade-runner-2049-sex-scene/ |title=Blade Runner 2049's Wild and Haunting Sex Scene Will Have People Talking About It for Years|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171025003627/http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a12808498/blade-runner-2049-sex-scene/ |archive-date=October 25, 2017 |work=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]] |access-date=November 3, 2020}}</ref>

[[Mackenzie Davis]], who portrayed Mariette, argued for the self-awareness of the film's social commentary in an interview with the website ''[[Refinery29]]''. Asked how she believed ''Blade Runner 2049'' "differs [from ''Blade Runner''] in its portrayal of women", Davis responded:
<blockquote>I think it's pretty self-aware about a pornographic economy that has reduced the roles of women to sheer consumption. The normalization of women's roles as things to be consumed, there's products that are made, just like there are now, the idea of the semi-sentient sex doll is really in line with what's going on in this Blade Runner universe, about having a thing that fulfills everything you want, but doesn't talk back and can't argue with you, but can be a loving, supporting companion and also fulfill all your sexual needs feels like something that's very contemporary and something the movie is very self-aware about. And then I think that there are female roles in different castes of this society that are able to be more embodied and powerful in conventional ways, and also have cracks in their facade where you see their vulnerabilities. But it seems like this world is so dependent on this caste system of humans perform these roles; replicants perform these roles, human superiors, creators, and those are the ways that women sort of travel between. But there isn't a lot of upward mobility.<ref>{{cite web |last=Cohen |first=Anne |date=October 7, 2017 |url=https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2017/10/175604/blade-2049-review-women-sex-workers-mackenzie-davis |title=Is Blade Runner 2049 Good For Women?
