Brandon Sklenar is shining a light on his transformation for the upcoming movie “F.A.S.T.”
The film is being made by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan, and while not a lot of details are known, the publicly released plot is pretty epic.
It’s stated as follows:
JOSH BROLIN CONFIRMS SICARIO 3 ‘IS HAPPENING’ AS TAYLOR SHERIDAN FRANCHISE PREPARES TO RETURN
F.A.S.T. concerns a former special forces commando, down on his luck after he returns Stateside, who is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers in his town.

Sounds like it’s right up the alley of anyone who loved “Sicario,” and Sklenar will lead the way.

Brandon Sklenar talks transformation for upcoming Taylor Sheridan movie.
Sklenar spoke with “The Hollywood Reporter” about the upcoming movie, which is scheduled to premiere in May 2027, and revealed he had to bulk up for the role.
“I put on a bunch of size for another film I had done earlier in the year. I’m starring in this film Taylor Sheridan wrote called F.A.S.T. for Warners. It’s coming out in May. I played a Delta Force operator, and I got massive,” the former “1923” star told the outlet.

What’s interesting about Sklenar’s comments is one very simple fact:
Most Tier One operators (the U.S. military has five Tier One units), do not look anything like bodybuilders. In fact, I know several former operators who are fairly short and wiry.
Being a massive person with a bodybuilder physique isn’t overly advantageous when you need to ruck through mountains or blend in during low visibility operations.

Hollywood, for reasons that will never make sense to me, decides to portray commandos as if they’re all physical super humans.
