SOny might have a good movie in this, but they seem to have made a huge mistake in not pushing it earlier. They needed to do that to overcome the "No Emily Blunt..Not Interested" attiude a lot of people will have.

[Rebeccas]

Not going to Cannes was a huge mistake. Sheridan is a Cannes regular and Del Toro was Un Certain Regard Jury President.

If you pay attention enough, you can see for a few seconds Benicio Del Toro in Madonna's La Isla Bonita video.

His breakout performance.

"No Emily Blunt..Not Interested".

The funny thing is I had the exact opposite reaction. I thought she was the worst part of the original (I mean her character, Blunt's perfomance was solid) and Brolin was the best part, Del Toro was almost as good, but they ruined his character in the third act for me. I think this sequel will be better than the original because it's focused on the best characters of the previous movie and looks like this time the plot happens on screen (the events of the original were basically happening off screen, which didn't work for me), which is a huge plus.

More like no Deakins, not interested.

The Turner of DPs.

[Rebeccas]

I'm okay with Deakins not being back tbh. The first one at times looked a bit too much like No Country for Old Men.. it's nice to get a slightly different look for this one. Blunt was my favorite part of the first but it makes sense why she's not back.

Is it wrong that im even more excited for this because Blunt isnt in it? Her character in the first one wasnt bad, but also really bland. The supporting characters were all way more interesting.

I for one, welcome our new Brolin Cinematic Universe.

That first movie wouldn't have worked without her though cause we're all supposed to be as befuddled as she is about this whole situation. She did a great job with that which isn't easy for an actress in film where other actors have more showy roles. Del Toro's character on paper is obviously way more interesting though. Brolin was just coasting on charisma tbh cause his character was not really developed beyond being cocky and secretive. 

[The Futurist]

Maybe Brolin s part in this movie will be perfectly balanced, as all parts should be.

Blunts character definetly worked well and i liked her performance. Its just that the character isnt really needed for the sequel so im kinda glad shes not in it.

Taking Blunt's point of view was what made the original interesting. The trailer for this is selling a much more standard movie although I'm hoping Sheridan threw some curveballs in there.

A lot of the movie relies on the relationship between Benicio and Moner. Doesn't feel that standard IMO

I mean Logan was just last year.

Yeah, but that dynamic was a bit different (from what I can tell based on Soldado's trailers). The girl in this seems to be what Bay wanted in The Last Knight but failed spectacularly at

I'd care if they got a shitty DP, but Wolski is definitely no slouch.

Moner's character in The Last Knight only appeared in the first act, really, thanks to them sticking a bunch of different scripts together and producing something completely nonsensical.

[antovolk]

Turns out Italy are sticking with the OG title

 

[Rebeccas]

Soldado is a way better title for this but I guess they need to remind people it's connected to the first one.

 

Sicario - Soldado - {some other badass Spanish word} would make a cool trilogy,
