The ending

So Alejandro is left hanging in the wind by the Brolin character, so he flips to the othar side and starts raising nextgen Soldatos? So Sicario 3 will be a showdown between Brolin & Alejandro?

I thought he was going to turn that teenager thug into his inside man. So he would get information he needed to take down the cartel.

Benicio and Brolin both know that their loyalties to eachother has its limits and they still remain friends because they both want the same things even if they have different protocols they follow to achieve it.

So I dont think Alejandro would hold a grudge against Graver.

That's exactly as I saw it.

Also, Brolin gives him a heads up about what's going down and why. So he was still on good enough terms with him to let him know what was up.

And Benicio's character seemed intent on taking down the cartel(s) at all costs, so it would make sense he would use the one kid who tried to kill him to turn him to his side.

Unfortunately, it appears that there will be no third movie.

🤨

Basil Iwanyk claims there are no plans for a part 3 at this time. A script is written but the theme "Sicario, Mexico & immigration" is deemed too "Pro Trump" ie its inappropriate and producers dont want to touch it. Its not kosher. Its too republican.

We live in a strange world.

I hope they don't make a third. The ending to this one was hot garbage

I thought Brolin and the team thought that Alejandro was dead when they see the aerial drone view of his shooting, in fact they're glad they didn't have to be the ones to do the job. And Alejandro might not be sure that they were going to kill him, Brolin suggested that they had to dispose of the girl, but he didn't imply Alejandro's fate (other than the "they're cutting ties" hint).

So, in the end, Brolin might not even know Alejandro is alive, and Alejandro might not have a reason to go after Brolin, especially after "saving" Isabel (he says she would go into witness protection) and not necessarily knowing that their orders (given by the US government) were to kill both of them. He might just assume that they left him for dead after he was shot in the desert.
