Story summary
Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, and Josh Brolin are set to return for Sicario 3, a sequel to the critically acclaimed film series about covert actions against drug cartels by the United States. While initially it was reported that Taylor Sheridan had written the script, Deadline recently revealed that Steven Knight is the actual writer, with Padraic McKinley directing. The first film in the series, "Sicario," was released in 2015 and directed by Denis Villeneuve, followed by a second installment in 2018. Blunt only appeared in the original movie but will reprise her role for the third chapter. Shooting is scheduled to begin in 2027, though Sheridan's involvement remains uncertain despite his significant influence on the series' success.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
