We have known for quite some time that Soldado will not bring back Kate Macer to play a significant role in the plot (unless there’s a secret cameo that we are currently unaware of), which means Alejandro and Matt Graver have officially graduated to the lead roles in this newly-formed franchise.
One aspect of Sicario 2: Soldado’s story that will obviously be interesting to watch is how the sequel manages to expand on the roles of Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro with Emily Blunt no longer in the picture.
Removing the moral and ethical center of Sicario from the story inherently implies that Sicario 2: Soldado will take a much grayer approach to how it handles the morality of its heroes in a much bigger story, which also means that we may see our leads get their hands much dirtier in a much darker story.
