Actor Josh Brolin confirms that Sicario 3 is moving forward and heading toward production, according to an interview with ScreenRant.

Josh Brolin Confirms Production Plans for Sicario 3
The upcoming crime thriller has finally cleared development hurdles, according to actor Josh Brolin. Speaking in an interview with ScreenRant, Brolin stated that the project is officially happening and production could start in the near future. This update marks a significant shift from the actor’s previous uncertainty regarding the film’s status.
For years, the status of a third film remained unclear as writer Taylor Sheridan focused heavily on television projects like Yellowstone. Brolin reprises his role as CIA operative Matt Graver, a character he played in both the original 2015 film and the 2018 sequel.
Did you know? The original 2015 Sicario earned three Academy Award nominations, including a nod for Roger Deakins’ renowned cinematography.
Cast Returns and Production Timeline
While Brolin’s return as Matt Graver is expected, details surrounding the rest of the cast remain in flux. Previous reports have continuously discussed the potential involvement of Benicio del Toro, who starred alongside Brolin in both previous films. Meanwhile, rumors regarding Emily Blunt’s potential return have surfaced previously, though no official confirmation has been provided.
If filming commences shortly, industry observers suggest a 2028 release date is a cautious estimate, according to reports via GS. However, neither a concrete shooting schedule nor an official premiere date has been formally announced by the studio.
