Josh Brolin Praises 'Sicario 3' Cast as Script Moves Forward Without Taylor Sheridan
WHY IT MATTERS
The "Sicario" series is a critical and commercial touchstone for modern crime thrillers; a new script and returning stars signal continued audience interest and potential box‑office impact.
What happened
Josh Brolin praised the cast of the upcoming third "Sicario" film, calling their work "untouchable" as the franchise moves forward without original creator Taylor Sheridan’s script. The third installment has been confirmed, but Sheridan will not be writing; Steven Knight has taken over the screenplay.
Brolin, who plays CIA operator Matt Graver, will return alongside Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt, who appeared in the first film. In a ScreenRant interview, Brolin said the project is still in the notes process and that the team’s chemistry is strong, noting he has sent a voice memo to Blunt.
No release date has been set, and the film is expected to take time before hitting theaters.
