Mickey Rourke and Rosario Dawson are the first names confirmed to be returning for the Sin City sequel, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Talking to MTV, director Robert Rodriguez divulged little on which new faces might be joining the follow-up, including the Angelina Jolie rumours, but was more forthcoming on who would be coming back. He said:

We haven't done any casting yet, except for the people who we know are already in it and returning. I just had lunch with Mickey [Rourke] this weekend. He's all excited to come back, but he's probably the first one. I saw Rosario [Dawson] too. I ran into her for something else, and she's pumped.



As for Jolie's possible inclusion the From Dusk Til Dawn and Planet Terror director said, “I haven't even gotten to meet with her yet about it or discuss with Frank about who we would want.” With her recent fiancé Brad Pitt's connection with Rodriguez buddy Quentin Tarantino the speculation over Angelina taking on some part in the Frank Miller adaptation has resurfaced.



It seems that despite the news earlier this week that Sin City 2 is a definite go, it might still be some time before casting begins in earnest, with Rodriguez still to finish his follow-up to Machete, Machete Kills.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill for has no official release date but is expected to arrive late next year.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has confirmed that he is taking the lead in the Sin City sequel Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.

The Dark Knight Rises actor has pulled out of Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy to take on the lead of Johnny, a cocky gambler harbouring a grudge against a sworn enemy. The character doesn’t appear in the Marvel comics but was created specifically for the sequel and was originally offered to Johnny Depp.

“I love how the first movie uses VFX, not to make fake things look real, but to create a heightened world unburdened by the look and feel of reality,” explained Joseph Gordon-Levitt. “Plus, nobody makes a badass like Mr Rodriguez.”

The original 2005 Sin City is based on the Marvel comic books about the crime-ridden universe of Basin City. As with the first film Sin City: A Dame To Kill For will feature multiple storylines and it’ll be Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character that will connect the various story strands.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is currently shooting and also stars Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis. The film opens in the US on 4 October 2013, with a UK date to be confirmed.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s next project is his directorial debut Don Jon’s Addiction, which will appear at Sundance Film Festival this month.
