Sicario followed FBI agent Kate (Emily Blunt) and her conflicting journey that descended into the intrigue, corruption and moral mayhem of the borderland drug wars.
Today, Deadline has a major update, reporting that the followup, titled Soldado, will be helmed by Italian director Stefano Sollima (Gomorra, A.C.A.B.).
As was previously revealed, Soldado will feature the return of Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro as Alejandro Gillick.
Josh Brolin will be back as CIA Agent Matt Graver with Sicario and Sons of Anarchy scribe Taylor Sheridan also returning to script Soldado.
