According to The Hollywood Reporter, Berg and MacKenzie are both meeting with the studio, setting up an odd little competition.
While Antoine Fuqua exited the project to focus on the Equalizer sequel, the film is close to landing a new director, and Peter Berg and Hell or High Water’s David MacKenzie are frontrunners.
The first one was set in Chicago, the second in Miami, and the third will take place in Los Angeles.
Variety reports that along with the Coen brothers entering the fray, the movie also has an official release date: August 10, 2018.
