Josh Brolin Officially Teases James Bond Writer’s “Incredible” Script for Taylor Sheridan Follow-Up

Josh Brolin says Steven Knight has written an “incredible” script for Sicario 3, prompting him, Emily Blunt and Benicio del Toro to agree that the long-awaited sequel should go ahead. The update matters because the original cast is reuniting, though Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the first two films, is no longer involved.

Brolin said the film is expected to shoot next year, with a likely cinema release in 2028, although no release date has been announced. Padraic McKinley is set to direct; fans have raised questions about Sheridan’s absence, while the article points to Knight’s writing work and McKinley’s directing history as reasons for confidence.
