That was cute, and the director and his Marvel co-pilot,Joe Russo,confirmed to usthat he was just being figurative with that number.

Blade Runner 2049may have been the most challenging of the bunch, as Wallfisch andHans Zimmerboarded the project relatively later in the process when directorDenis Villeneuveopted to part ways with the film’s original composer,Johann Johannsson....
