The original cast of Sicario may be returning for Sicario 3. With a small group dedicated to stopping a Mexican cartel, the franchise focuses on a desperate attempt to slow the flow of drugs into the United States. The first movie was released in 2015 and featured Emily Blunt as FBI agent Kate Macer, Benicio del Toro as the assassin Alejandro Gillick, and Josh Brolin as CIA agent Matt Graver. The sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, came in 2018 and featured del Toro and Brolin but failed to include Blunt.
With Sicario 3 on the way, there have been questions about which actors will be attaching themselves to the project. While speaking to Collider, producers Molly Smith and Trent Luckinbill revealed that there is hope for every member of the original trio to return. The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike has posed a problem for the casting, but the producers anticipate a return for every major actor. Check out Smith’s quote below:
Our idea is to get the cast back together with Benicio, Emily, and Josh, and we’ve got a great story to tell… Benicio, by nature of just working with us most recently, has been probably the closest to it at the moment. But we’re keeping all the talent informed. They’ve stayed close to it. Like Trent said, the strike has just slowed us down a bit on this last draft, but I think everybody is very excited. Everyone sort of knows the framework of the story and is very excited to, hopefully, get our shooting draft in order very soon.
Developing…
