Overview
- Taylor Sheridan has written the script for an untitled third Sicario movie, a development reported across outlets on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026.
- Josh Brolin is expected to reprise his role as CIA agent Matt Graver and has said production is expected to start soon.
- Denis Villeneuve is unlikely to direct because he is committed to Dune Part Three and the next James Bond film, leaving the directing slot open.
- Industry reports say NBCUniversal has struck a deal with Sheridan and that he has stepped away from his Paramount collaboration, but those studio moves remain reported and not fully confirmed.
- The project has been in development since 2018 and is often called Sicario: Capos; Benicio del Toro’s character survived the last film and could return while Sheridan’s other work, including a Call of Duty adaptation, may affect the schedule.
