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. The Kansas native is often cast as a nefarious baddie, or at least a nefarious baddie’s sidekick, as he did in both “Ant-Man” and “The Dark Knight,” but he’s got major indie cred, too. You know David Dastmalchian’s face, even if you don’t know his name. 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.)

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.

K made this realization after piecing together that his “memories” of the horse and fighting off bullies wasn’t his childhood but Ana’s. Ana Stelline ( Carla Juri) is Deckard’s daughter. The two make their way to the memory-making facility where K has figured out that Dr. In the end, K, after killing Niander Wallace’s top aide, Luv ( Sylvia Hoeks), rescues Deckard and tells him that he should be safe since the Wallace corporation will assume he died in an accident.
