Overview
- Variety reported that Taylor Sheridan has written a script for an untitled third Sicario film and multiple outlets say Josh Brolin is expected to reprise his role as CIA agent Matt Graver.
- No studio has issued an official announcement and there are no confirmed details on a title, release date, director, full cast, or production schedule.
- The Sicario franchise began in 2015 and continued in 2018 with Day of the Soldado, films known for their dark, gritty portrayals of the U.S.-Mexico cartel conflict and strong industry attention.
- Industry coverage notes the series’ commercial afterlife and Sheridan’s return could steer the next film’s tone, while directors from earlier entries such as Denis Villeneuve are likely tied up with other projects.
- Watch for formal studio confirmation, casting notices, and a production timeline because those facts will determine whether this report leads quickly to filming and how the sequel will connect to the earlier films.
