With the eagerly awaited Sicario, the critically acclaimed Sicario franchise will continue its grim examination of the war on drugs. As FBI agent Kate Macer, whose moral compass and fortitude will once again be put to the test in a world where the distinction between right and wrong is blurred beyond recognition, Lionsgate has confirmed that the third film will bring fans back together with Emily Blunt.

While previous films focused on Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) and Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), Shadow of the Cartel will shift its narrative focus back to Kate Macer. Following her absence in Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Kate’s return signals a new chapter in the franchise, as she navigates the aftermath of her traumatic experiences from the first film. Sources close to the project hint that Kate will face a powerful and insidious cartel that has infiltrated the U.S. political system, creating a domestic crisis with global implications.

Fans of the franchise can rest assured that Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin are set to reprise their roles as Alejandro and Matt Graver, respectively. The dynamic between the two characters is expected to evolve as they confront a new adversary that tests their allegiance and moral boundaries.
