It's been a while since we had any updates on this one, but Adult Swim and Crunchyroll finally debuted the first trailer and unveiled the full voice cast for Blade Runner: Black Lotus during yesterday's SDCC@Home panel.
Set between the events of Ridley Scott's seminal sci-fi classic and Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed Blade Runner: 2049, Black Lotus will focus on a new replicant character named Elle (voiced by Jessica Henwick in English and Arisa Shida in Japanese) who was created for some unknown purposes.
Specific plot points are still under wraps, but based on what we can glean from the trailer, Elle will play an integral part in bridging the gap between the films as the Tyrell Corporation crumbles and makes way for the Wallace Corporation.
