Sicario 3
Joshn Brolin says it was Steven Knight’s script for the third “Sicario” that finally got everyone, including co-stars Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro, onboard to return and get the project moving.

He tells THR: “Steven Knight wrote a script that was incredible, and it was kind of undeniable. All of us reacted similarly.” Padraic McKinley (“The Weight”) directs the film which will begin filming next year.
