“Sicario” updates continue to roll in.<\/p>\n

There has been serious buzz recently about the film series focused on the United States<\/a> conducting covert actions against drug cartels.<\/p>\n

The first film \u2013 “Sicario” \u2013 was created by Taylor Sheridan<\/a> and released in 2015. Denis Villeneuve directed.<\/p>\n

A second film came out in 2018, and it’s now been confirmed a third movie is happening. However, information is starting to get a bit murky.<\/p>\n

Emily Blunt returning for ‘Sicario 3’<\/p>\n

Variety recently reported<\/a> that Sheridan had already written the script for the untitled third “Sicario” film. Fans were extremely excited by the news.<\/p>\n

However, a new report indicates that might not actually be the case. Deadline reported<\/a> that Steven Knight is writing the script and Padraic McKinley will direct. Shooting is expected to start in 2027.<\/p>\n

Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin are all returning, according to the same report. Brolin and del Toro were in both of the first two films.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe Sheridan won\u2019t be involved in some capacity, especially considering that “Sicario” laid the foundation for him to become the most influential person in entertainment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Would he really let someone else make all the decisions? Possibly, but Sheridan is famously focused on perfection and crafting a compelling story.<\/p>\n

The fact that there are competing reports is at a minimum an odd situation.<\/p>\n

What I will say is both movies are 100% worth watching, and the first one is a masterpiece. Hopefully, “Sicario 3” lives up to what will be incredibly high expectations. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.<\/p>\n
