And it's Stefano Sollima.
His name may not ring a bell. However, this Italian director released on our screens a few months ago his feature film entitled Suburra, which took place in the modern mafia. He is also the director of the series Gomorrah. An action maker therefore, and it is not totally inconsistent to see him take over from Denis Villeneuve.
The film titled Soldado will focus on the character of Benicio Del Toro. Josh Brolin should be in the game even though Emily Blunt will not resume his role, busy playing the Mary Poppins in the next Disney film.
