Sicario 2!

The crime thriller starring Emily Blunt, Bencio Del Toro and Josh Brolin is getting a 2017 sequel entitled "Soldado" which translates to soldier. It's no surprise hearing that this film is being tapped for a sequel seeing as it was good enough to get three Oscar nominations as well as making around 80 million dollars world wide. The films screen writer (Taylor Sheridan) sat down with LRM.Com to talk a little bit about the project and how it came to be. "We decided to do a sequel to this, literally before the movie came out,” he told LRM “It was in early post. When Trent (Luckinbill) and Molly (Smith), the financiers and producers on it, when they asked me, ‘Hey, we love these characters so much. Is there anything you could do to continue exploring them?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, I’d love to. Here’s what I would do. I had thought about it before’ and they said, ‘That’s great, let’s do that.’ And that was the end of the conversation. I told them at that point, ‘You gotta just let me run off and do it. I don’t want to have a bunch of development meetings. Once I’m done, you can change it all you want, but let me just go do it."

“The thing about the sequel to Sicario,” he continued. “Tragically, the issues that are discussed in the first one still exist. There’s still a landscape to explore. Our method of policing along the border, issues that take place on the border, obviously it’s a subject on the forefront of everyone’s mind politically during the election. It warrant further exploration, and the characters of Alejandro and Matt are excellent vehicles to do that.”

Sheridan went on to say

The interesting thing about these characters from a structural standpoint with respect to Matt and Alejandro--I’m sure someone else has done it--but they don’t arc. There’s no arc to the characters. They’re no different at the end of the film than the beginning. They’re a constant, they represent a constant, and therefore, they’re as great a mystery at the end as they are at the beginning, which is by design. The more you learn about them, the less you understand them. You think they’re this one thing, and then they turn out to be something different. The characters themselves just lend themselves to being explored more.”

So based on what screen writer Taylor Sheridan said we won't be seeing Emily Blunts character in this film or at least this movie will not center around her and will instead focus on Josh Brolin and Bencio Del Toros characters.
