Sicario 3 Producer Shares Christopher McQuarrie’s Involvement
The third installment in the action thriller movie series Sicario has been under development for a while. Earlier this year, it was revealed that its script was being written, and the producer Molly Smith has recently shared new updates related to the anticipated threequel.
During an interview with Collider, she revealed that they have some of the best people in their creative team, including the Mission Impossible writer-director Christopher McQuarrie. However, she did not specify his role in the production team. Smith said,
“But we don’t know who’s going to direct yet. It’s all gonna be about timing. We’ve got obviously a wealth of great partners on it, everybody from Taylor Sheridan to Chris McQuarrie as a partner on it, but it’ll all be about the timing and what aligns with everyone’s schedule.”
McQuarrie is known for his work on Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise. He is also known for being a talented screenwriter, having worked on critically acclaimed movies Edge of Tomorrow and Top Gun: Maverick and winning an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects. The filmmaker has been working on the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise.
Emily Blunt is Expected to Return in Sicario 3
