A third installment in the “Sicario” franchise is moving forward with the planned return of Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, and Josh Brolin. Multiple outlets report that Black Label Media and Thunder Road are developing “Sicario 3,” and that Padraic McKinley is attached to direct, with Steven Knight writing the script.
The reporting also focuses on a shift behind the camera. IndieWire and Polygon identify McKinley as taking over directorial duties for the long-awaited sequel, while Polygon specifically frames the update as a replacement of Taylor Sheridan’s role. Fox News notes that details around Sheridan are not fully consistent across reports, with the extent of his involvement described differently by different outlets.
