Robin Wright is in final talks to join the A-list cast of Alcon Entertainment’s sequel to Ridley Scott‘s “Blade Runner.”

Wright, the current first lady of Netflix in “House of Cards,” will join the previously announced Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford under director Denis Villeneuve.

While character details and plot points are being kept under wraps, producers previously said the film will pick up decades after the original’s 1982 story. Ford will reprise his role of Rick Deckard.  Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble of Thunderbird Films and Ridley Scott will executive produce.

Shooting is set for July, with Alcon’s Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove to produce alongside Cynthia Sikes Yorkin. Warner Bros. will release the film in the United States, with Sony Pictures taking international territories.

Wright will also appear in Warner Bros.’ “Wonder Woman,” alongside Gal Gadot, and return for a fifth installment of “House of Cards.” Wright is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and PMK-BNC.
