Sicario 3 Confirmed With Josh Brolin

Josh Brolin has confirmed that Sicario 3 is happening and will begin production soon, with the actor reprising his role as Matt Graver in the Taylor Sheridan-created action franchise.

The film's production timeline was previously delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, but writing is now nearly complete. Brolin will once again play the role of Matt Graver, a CIA SAC officer who works as part of a covert task force to combat Mexican drug cartels along the Mexico-United States border.

The Sicario franchise was created by Taylor Sheridan, who has been busy with other projects, including the upcoming film F.A.S.T. and a Call of Duty film with director Peter Berg. The first Sicario film was released on September 17, 2015, and was directed by Denis Villeneuve, while the 2018 sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, was directed by Stefano Sollima.

## What changed The 2023 Writers Guild of America strike halted progress on Sicario 3, but with writing now nearly complete, the film is set to move forward. Brolin's confirmation of the film's production timeline comes after years of whispers about a potential third installment.

## Why it matters The Sicario franchise has gained a significant following over the years, with the first film receiving critical acclaim. The return of Josh Brolin as Matt Graver, along with the involvement of Taylor Sheridan, is likely to generate excitement among fans of the franchise. The film's production will also provide a boost to the action genre, which has seen a resurgence in recent years.

The Sicario films have also featured notable performances from other actors, including Benicio del Toro, who played the role of Alejandro Gillick in the previous films. While it is not confirmed whether del Toro will return for the third installment, Brolin's involvement is a significant step forward for the project.

## What happens next With production set to begin soon, fans of the Sicario franchise can expect more updates on the film's cast, crew, and release date in the coming months. The film's success will depend on various factors, including the quality of the script, the direction, and the performances of the cast. However, with Josh Brolin and Taylor Sheridan on board, the film is already generating significant buzz in the entertainment industry.
