Denis Villeneuven ohjaama Sicario kohosi menestykseksi vuonna 2015, ja jatko-osa Sicario 2: Soldado saatiin vuonna 2018. Kolmannelle elokuvalle oli suunnitelmia, mutta ilmeisesti leffa ei toteudu sitten kuitenkaan.
Näyttelijä Josh Brolin kertoi ounastelunsa Varietylle. Kyse on rahasta.
"Because these people that I got to work with aren't necessarily doing a lot of films now. All these people that you're talking about, Paul Thomas Anderson, it's tough for him to do a film."
"Paul's become a really close friend, and I loved working with him on 'Inherent Vice.' I can't wait to see what he does next. But I think he knows that these types of movies are not necessarily getting made so much anymore, $20 to 45 million dollar movies. Would 'No Country' get made today? Would 'True Grit' get made today? Would 'Sicario' get made today?"
"'Sicario 3,' we've been trying to get that right and get that going, but why hasn't it happened? How long can you wait? A tough movie to get made even though the two made money, and people are asking about it all the time."
