VIDEO : The MCU Had A Major Influence On Blade Runner 2049

Blade Runner 2049 could have a sequel, but it wasn?t designed that way ? and that?s all thanks to the MCU. The film is, of course, a sequel in itself, coming 35 years after Ridley Scott?s original sci-fi classic. screenwriter Michael Green ? who co-wrote 2049 ? said that while building a franchise is always the hope, their focus was first and foremost on the film. "So many studios and property rights holders have seen the success of Marvel, which we all adore and wonder how to replicate it." said green "For me, the lesson of Marvel is: you don?t begin by building a universe. You begin by telling a story worth telling."
