The 2015 Mexican drug cartel thriller SICARIO became a critical hit and has developed quite a cult following in a short period of time. It’s not the type of film you’d necessarily expect to see a sequel for, but we’re getting one anyway, and it looks pretty intense. Written by Taylor Sheridan, who also wrote the first one, and is helmed by Italian director Stefano Sollima. Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin are back of course, with a supporting cast that includes Isabela Moner, Jeffrey Donovan, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Catherine Keener. Emily Blunt is not returning, but if you saw the first movie, you might remember the whole point of the story was her character wanted out of that line of work… so bringing her back wouldn’t make much sense. Check out the first trailer for SICARIO 2: SOLDADO below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
In Sicario 2: Soldado, the drug war on the US-Mexico border has escalated as the cartels have begun trafficking terrorists across the US border. To fight the war, federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) reteams with the mercurial Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro).
