Production
In September 2015, Lionsgate commissioned a sequel to Sicario, centering on Benicio del Toro's character. The project is being overseen by writer Taylor Sheridan with Denis Villeneuve initially involved. In April 2016, producers Molly Smith and Trent Luckinbill said Emily Blunt, del Toro and Josh Brolin would return. By June 1, 2016, Italian director Stefano Sollima had been hired to direct what was now titled Soldado from a script by Sheridan. On October 27, 2016, Catherine Keener was cast in the film, which Lionsgate and Black Label Media would finance, and which would be produced by Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk, Black Label's Molly Smith and Thad and Trent Luckinbill, and Edward McDonnell. By November 2016, Blunt was no longer attached. The following month, Isabela Moner and David Castaneda joined the cast. Jeffrey Donovan, who will return as Steve Forsing, said that the story will focus on Forsing, Alejandro and Graver "going down into Mexico to basically start a war, on purpose, between the rival Mexican cartels", and has described the film as a "stand-alone spin-off" rather than a sequel or prequel. In January 2017, Elijah Rodriguez, Matthew Modine and Ian Bohen joined the cast of the film. Sheridan said, "if Sicario is a film about the militarization of police and that blending over, this is removing the policing aspect from it."
Filming
Principal photography on the film began on November 8, 2016 in New Mexico.
