The last few years have come up all Josh Brolin, who has exploded into one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to his role as Gurney Halleck in the Dune movies. Last year, Brolin starred in one of the most successful horror movies of all time in Weapons, which hailed from writer/director Zach Cregger, who is soon to direct the new Resident Evil movie coming to theaters next month. Brolin also drew widespread fame in 2018 and 2019 for his role as Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, proving that actors doing motion capture are still just as capable of delivering memorable performances. However, one of Brolin’s most underrated roles is Matt Graver, who he’s played twice in a pair of Sicario movies from writer Taylor Sheridan in 2015 and 2018.
Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro are among the few stars who have appeared in both Sicario movies, though the 2018 sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, is not remembered in the same light as its predecessor. For years now, there have been whispers that Sheridan was working on the script for a third Sicario movie, and while Brolin has confirmed its existence at every turn, there have been few concrete updates about the film, until today. During an interview with ScreenRant to promote his new sci-fi movie, The Dog Stars, Josh Brolin confirmed that Sicario 3 “is happening” and even teased that the film is scheduled to begin production “soon.” This comes around the time that Sheridan is getting back into the movie business, with F.A.S.T. coming to theaters next year before his Call of Duty film with director Peter Berg arrives in 2028.
Collider Exclusive · Taylor Sheridan Universe Quiz Which Taylor Sheridan Show Do You Belong In? Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown
Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

👑Tulsa King
⚖️Mayor of Kingstown
01
Where does your power come from? In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.
02
Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.
03
Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.
04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.
05
How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.
06
What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.
07
How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.
08
Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.
09
What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.
10
When it’s over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.
Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

🛢️ Landman
👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
Are the ‘Sicario’ Movies on Streaming?
Both Sicario movies are available to watch on streaming right now, but not on the same platform. The first Sicario film, which was released in 2015, is available to watch on HBO Max for all standard subscribers. Denis Villeneuve directed the film. The 2018 sequel, which was directed by Stefano Sollima, is available to stream via Starz. In the last few years, the Sicario movies have bounced around on various streaming platforms, so it wouldn’t be surprising if either film changes home in the next few months, especially as more news about Sicario 3 comes out.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Sicario 3, which is scheduled to begin filming soon.
