[[folder:Officer K / "Joe" / [[spoiler: KD6.3-7]]]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bladerunner2049k.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/RyanGosling

The main protagonist, an LAPD officer who became a Blade Runner. He unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos, and that discovery leads him on a quest to find a former Blade Runner, Rick Deckard, who has been missing for 30 years.

[[spoiler:K is also a current-gen Replicant, officially known as "[=KD6.3-7=]". His job is to retire early-model Replicants who had no set expiry date]].
----
* BadassLongcoat: His shearling leather jacket surely looks cool. And he's a way more badass Blade Runner than Deckard was in his day.
* CoolGuns: He uses what appears to be a [[http://www.figures.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DSCN8700.jpg modernized version]] of the LAPD blaster.
* FantasticRacism: [[spoiler:Due to K's status as a late-gen Replicant, people throw slurs at him like "skinjob" as he walks past]].
* MadeOfIron: He can take quite a lot of beating. [[spoiler:Being a Replicant helps.]]
* OneLetterName: He's commonly known as "K", although Joi decides to call him "Joe". [[spoiler:His full Replicant designation is [=KD6.3-7=]]].
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Due to K's status as a Replicant, a fact which wasn't revealed in the marketing itself. The film does explain this early on, however]].

[[caption-width-right:300:''"If this gets out, we've bought ourselves a war!"'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/RobinWright

K's LAPD superior.
----
* TheAlcoholic: She's often seen with a glass in hand. Considering the stress and responsibilities of her job, it's understandable.
* DaChief: She berates K on several instances.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Despite Luv torturing her by crushing a broken glass in her hand, Joshi doesn't reveal anything to the Replicant.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She has DaChief traits but also knows when K did things right.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She gets killed by Luv, showing the extent to which Niander Wallace can go to find Deckard's secret.]]

!Wallace Corporation

[[folder:Niander Wallace]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bladerunner2049wallace.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"You do not know what pain is yet. You will learn."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/JaredLeto

-->''"Replicants are the future, but I can only make so many."''

A manipulative Replicant manufacturer whose company perpetuates the work of Tyrell Corporation after buying its remnants.
----
* BeardOfEvil: He's the BigBad, and he sports a beard.
* BigBad: The main villain of the movie: Luv might do most of the heavy lifting, but she's acting on his orders.
* BringHimToMe: Used word-for-word by Wallace when he orders Luv to capture Deckard.
* {{Cyborg}}: He has robotic implants in his head, which help him to see using hovering external cameras.
* EmperorScientist: He controls most of humanity's artificial food production and lives in the pyramid than was once Tyrell's home, which still towers over Los Angeles.
* EmptyEyes: As a result of being blind.
* EvilWearsBlack: He's dressed entirely in black.
* AGodAmI: He seems to have delusions of godhood, given how he compares Replicants to angels and refers to divine creation.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Although his plans do get foiled and he loses his right-hand woman at the end of the movie, he himself is left largely untouched, and nothing's stopping him from opposing Deckard and the rebelling Replicants again at a later date.]]
* MadScientist: Reprised Tyrell's work to create stronger, more ruthless and more servile Replicants and made their lifespan unlimited. He always compares his work to divine creation. [[spoiler:He is also obsessed with finding the secret of the reproduction of Replicants, which Tyrell apparently did find before dying, as Rachael gave birth.]]
* MegaCorp: His company bought out the now-bankrupt Tyrell Corporation from the previous film and produces virtually all of Earth's artificial food supply as well as the new Nexus-9 Replicants and "entertainment" technologies like the Joi A.I.
* NonActionBigBad: Doesn't throw a single punch and doesn't fire a single shot throughout the duration of the movie. Justified since he's blind.
* RedRightHand: He is blind and his eyes make him look appropriately eerie.
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: He never meets K once in the film, and never gets in harm's way either.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Luv]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bladerunner2049luv.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"WHERE IS HE?!"'']]
->'''Played by:''' Sylvia Hoeks

A Nexus-9 Replicant, Niander Wallace's assistant and right-hand woman.
----
* DarkActionGirl: She qualifies as this, being Wallace's enforcer.
* DeadpanSnarker: She gradually starts developping into this as the movie unfolds.
* EmotionlessGirl: Wallace designed the Nexus-9 Replicants to be completely emotionless and subservient, although somehow Luv lets out some tears on two instances.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She jokes around with her victims, but it only serves to underline her ruthlessness as she tortures and kills them.
* FluffyTheTerrible: A ruthless, dangerous DarkActionGirl named "Luv".
* TheHeavy: She has more screentime than Niander Wallace, tracks K down up to [[spoiler:Deckard's hideout and fights K to the death at the end.]]
* KickTheDog: She [[spoiler:crushes Joi's emitter, effectively killing her]], for no real reason other than pure cruelty.
* KnifeNut: Aside from her gun, she uses a retractable switchblade.
* MadeOfIron: Being a Replicant, she can take quite a beating.
* NumberTwo: She's Wallace's main henchwoman.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She starts off as WomanInWhite, but eventually adds black and red to her outfit.
* UndyingLoyalty: Wallace conceived her Replicant line to be completely subservient.
* VillainousCheekbones: A female example.
* VillainousRescue: Luv saves K's life by using a remote-controlled drone to blast the scavengers who attack him in the giant dump yard, to ensure he finds important clues to lead her to what Wallace wants.

-> For tropes applying to his younger self in ''Film/BladeRunner'', see [[Characters/BladeRunner here]].
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Trailers and posters made no secret of his presence in the film. He only appear in the third act however.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: The movie doesn't bother addressing the debate whether Deckard is a LongLived Replicant or not. Screenwriter Hampton Fancher and Harrison Ford himself have always considered him as human.
* BadassGrandpa: Even in his 70s he's still capable of throwing a punch or two, and he survived on his own in the ruins of Las Vegas for the last couple of decades.
* CallToAgriculture: He turned to beekeeping, as bees apparently can survive in post-nuclear black out Las Vegas.
* CharacterAgedWithTheActor: Deckard has aged almost as much as Harrison Ford -- the character is 30 years older while ''2049'' comes out 35 years after the original.
* CoolGuns: He still uses his old [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/(Blade_Runner)_-_LAPD_2019_Blaster LAPD blaster]].

[[caption-width-right:300:''"I always told you. You're special."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/AnaDeArmas

-->''"Your story isn't over yet. There's still a page left."''

K's virtual girlfriend, a holographic ArtificialIntelligence made by Wallace Corporation.
----
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Implied, as she tells K to wipe her from her home emitter and destroy the antenna of said emitter so Wallace Corporation won't be able to track him down.
* {{Hologram}}: She has no physical form, although her programming is advanced enough for her to have virtual rain falling on her when she's in the middle of a real rain outside. The holographic advertisement for the Joi line is a giant [[{{Fanservice}} naked]] purple version of her.
* HologramProjectionImperfection: She is a technological marvel, but the portable emitter is very sensitive and makes her glitch when shaken too violently, such as when K's car is attacked by scavengers in the giant dump yard of Los Angeles and crashes.
* {{Housewife}}: She takes on the appearance of a 1950s housewife when K serves himself his dinner, and K talks to her like a husband who comes back from his office job.
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:She was saying "I love y..." to K when Luv crushed her emitter.]]
* KissMeImVirtual: A true romance developed between her and K.
* MeaningfulName: The "Joi" line has been conceived to bring the joys of a relationship to lonely people.
* NiceGirl: She's a loving girlfriend to K.
* [[ProjectedMan Projected Woman]]: She manifests through a [[{{Hologram}} holographic projection]] inside K's apartment, and K buys an emitter so she can "follow" him everywhere.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She is an A.I. with human-like feelings, to a much higher extent than the A.I. of the current-line replicants.
* {{Sexbot}}: While obviously not conceived for physical sex, Joi's model is made by Wallace Corporation for lonely people who want to experience a relationship (including sharing feelings and intimate thoughts) and sure enough, [[{{Fanservice}} the giant purple holographic commercial of the Joi line is naked]]. Joi can synchronize with the body of a real woman for "physical" sex.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: She has a personality of her own and developed true feelings for K, and she's more than happy to accompany him through the emitter. [[spoiler:All of this makes her death pretty heartbreaking, when Luv crushes the emitter.]]

!''Black Out 2022''

[[folder:Iggy[=/=]Cygnus]]
->'''Played by:''' Jovan Jackson (voice) (English), Kenichiro Matsuda (Japanese)

A Nexus-8 combat[=/=]intelligence-gathering Replicant who went rogue after a battle on the planet of Kalathania. In the ''Black Out 2022'' anime, he teams up with an unlikely pair to "even the odds" against Replicants.
----
* TheCavalry: Iggy shows up to save Trixie as she's being accosted by a group of human thugs in the back-streets of L.A. After eyeing them up for a few moments, he effortlessly dispatches them.
* EyeScream: The last we see of Iggy, he's striding through the wreckage and flames of the backup site, having plucked out his own eye (which identifies that he's a Replicant) and replaced it with an EyepatchOfPower.
* UnwittingPawn: Iggy's backstory shows him fighting on the deserts of Kalathania. When he guns down a soldier from the opposing side and realizes that it's a Replicant, he realizes that the government has replaced the human soldiers with synthetics, who don't know that they're fighting other synthetics. This motivates his decision to eventually go rogue and cause the blackout in 2022.
--> '''Iggy:''' Nothing more than toy soldiers in a sandbox.

[[folder:Trixie]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/LuciChristian (voice) (English), Ichiko Aoba (Japanese)

A female Replicant who decides to aid Iggy in his quest to "even the odds" for Replicants, via executing a plan that will plunge Los Angeles into darkness.

* DarkActionGirl: Trixie's innocent exterior belies a Replicant who can effortlessly take out an entire group of soldiers with deadly martial arts, coupled with a willingness to help Ren see his plan through by aiding Iggy at the archives.
* HoneyTrap: Implied, as Trixie appears to be helpless and alone the first time we see her (as the gang threatens her). In the next scene, she shows that she's more than capable of dispatching enemies, as she takes out a truck driver with [[MurderousThighs her thighs]] and late cuts down nearly all of the soldiers guarding the backup site [[OneWomanArmy on her own]].
* ImprovisedWeapon: When the duo reach the archives and drive in, she uses the door from the tanker-trailer like a projectile to kill one of the soldiers.
* OneWomanArmy: She massacres most of the soldiers guarding the archives and backup records by herself, effortlessly killing most of them via fatal kicks and punches.
* RuleOfSymbolism: As she launches herself through the air during the final fight scene, Trixie witnesses a dove flying overhead. [[spoiler:She is shot in midair directly after this and crashes into a sheet of glass in a crucifixion pose]].
* ShoutOut: Trixie has visual and symbolic similarities to nearly all of the Replicants in the original film. She witnesses a dove flying through the air, similar to how the dove symbolized Roy Batty's death. She has acrobatic moves (and MurderousThighs) like Pris. [[spoiler:She dies by being shot in midair, also like Pris, and she crashes into a pane of glass when she dies, just like Zhora]].
* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:She only gets a handful of scenes before she's gunned down by a soldier in the archives, and dies before the EMP goes off]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Trixie is curious about love and death, asking Ren if he has any affection for her and later musing about whether Replicants will go to Heaven or Hell.
