Sir Ridley Scott, producer of director Denis Villeneue's "Blade Runner" sequel, "Blade Runner 2049", set 30 years after the original film, confirmed ex-cop 'Rick Deckard' (Harrison Ford), ordered to kill genetically engineered 'replicants', was also a synthetic:
Regarding Ford's age in the sequel, Scott said "Is he too old? Well, he was a 'Nexus-6' so we don't know how long he can live..."

Scott did reveal a scene from "Blade Runner 2049".

In the foreground is a small white clapboard hut with a porch as if it was from 'Grapes of Wrath'. From the right comes a car, coming in about six feet off the ground being chased by a dog. And that’s the end of it, I’m not gonna tell you anything else..."
