We've been waiting a LONG time for this to be confirmed...

Released in cinemas in 2015, Sicario is one of the best thrillers to come from Hollywood in the 21st century so far. Starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro, set against the cartel war taking place on the US/Mexico border, it was directed to perfection by Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners), based on a terrific screenplay by Taylor Sheridan (Hell Or High Water, Yellowstone).

A horror movie disguised as an action thriller, the first Sicario is an absolute masterclass in tension

"Oh yeah," Iwanyk says, with Lee then adding: "When we can continue writing it. It was pencils down, but the idea is awesome."

Iwanyk then continues: "I can't wait for Sicario 3. I could watch Benicio play that guy forever. I mean, I can watch Benicio in anything, but with that character, it doesn't get old."

From the sounds of that, Del Toro is definitely going to be back for the third movie (he became the focus of the action in Day Of The Soldado), but no confirmation if Brolin and/or Blunt might also return. We can but hope.

In the meantime, Sicario is available to stream on Netflix, while Day Of The Soldado is available to rent for €2.99 on Google Play and Rakuten TV.
