The first reactions to Sicario sequel Day of the Soldado have arrived - and it's good news for fans of Denis Villeneuve's cartel thriller.
Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro have reprised their roles for the follow-up to the 2015 film which starred Emily Blunt in the lead role.
Italian filmmaker Stefano Sollima - who directed TV series Gomorrah and acclaimed gangster film Suburra - has succeeded the Blade Runner 2049 filmmaker for a story from Taylor Sheridan that follows CIA agent Matt Graver (Brolin) and del Toro's operative Alejandro Gillick as they attempt to eliminate a drug cartel smuggling terrorists from Mexico into the United States.
