After having just been informed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt had been added to the cast of Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller‘s Sin City sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, now comes word of two more actors joining the cast.

According to sources, both Josh Brolin and Christopher Meloni have now joined the cast of the sequel, which is based on Miller’s comic series.

We recently found out that Joseph Gordon-Levitt had become one of the candidates for the lead in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. It seemed like he would immediately jump to the top of Marvel’s list, but that news has a quick ending to it.

It’s being reported that Gordon-Levitt will be starring in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller‘s long-awaited sequel to Sin City, titled Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Because of this, the actor will not be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy after all.

In the 2005 movie Sin City, Michael Clarke Duncan played a bad dude named Manute, who had a run in with Dwight (Clive Owen), Gail (Rosario Dawson), and her girls.

The character will also be part of the upcoming long awaited sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, but, due to the sad and unexpected death of Clarke Duncan, a replacement was necessary.

It’s being reported that Dennis Haysbert, star of the hit TV series 24 and movies like Major League, has entered into negotiations to step into the role.

While Robert Rodriguez‘s Machete Kills may have completed production, it still lacks a release date. It was expected that the film would hit theaters late next year, but producers who are filing a lawsuit against Rodriguez may prevent that from happening.

Open Road had picked up the distribution rights for the film last month, but a lawsuit filed by Overnight Productions against Rodriguez and his Quick Draw Productions could block the release. According to Deadline, the producers of the film are “seeking to terminate the April 2012 agreement in which they granted director/producer Rodriguez the rights to make another action movie about the rogue Mexican Federale. The rights would revert back to Rick Schwartz’s Overnight. The plaintiffs are seeking $2 million in damages.”

Robert Rodriguez confirmed that as soon as he finishes his work on Machete Kills, he is going to jump right into directing Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Well production for Machete Kills is already complete and the director is staying true to his word, as he is already beginning to work on the Sin City sequel by casting two major roles.

According to sources, Jaime King is returning to play Wendy, the sister of Goldie (who was also played by King), and Jamie Chung will play Miho (a role that was previously played by Devon Aoki). Miho will be vital to the story as she helps Dwight locate the double-dealing Ava.
