Development for the third installment of the ‘Sicario’ franchise has progressed toward production. While Taylor Sheridan created the franchise, the screenplay for this installment is being written by Steven Knight, the creator of ‘Peaky Blinders’. Padraic McKinley has been tapped to direct the film following a selection process that included input from the lead actors. Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio del Toro have all signed on to reunite for their respective roles as Kate Macer, Matt Graver, and Alejandro Gillick. This marks a significant return for Blunt, who was absent from the 2018 sequel, ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’. The screenplay is currently being refined by Knight and McKinley to incorporate feedback and notes from these three stars. Produced by Black Label Media and Thunder Road, production is expected to begin in early 2027. Unlike the previous films distributed by Lionsgate, producers intend to shop the project to the open market to secure a new distributor.
