Further details emerged during the panel regarding the characters portrayed by Schafer and Yeoh, named Cora and Olwen, respectively. Building on an earlier teaser released at San Diego Comic-Con, the central plot now revolves around Olwen, a Blade Runner replicant tasked with probing a disturbing disappearance.
