Dennis Haysbert (24, The Unit) is set to replace the late Michael Clarke Duncan, who sadly passed away in September, in the Robert Rodriguez directed sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The majority of the original cast are set to reprise their roles in the film, which is based on the comic series by Frank Miller. Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler), Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), Jaime King (Pearl Harbor) and Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds) are amongst the stars that have signed up for the much anticipated sequel.
One of the storylines being adapted is A Dame to Kill For, which was originally published in 1993 and sees Dwight (portayed by Clive Owen in Sin City) entangled in a complicated and deadly relationship with a femme fatale named Ava. Haysbert will be stepping into the role of Manute, the brutal and seemingly unstoppable right-hand man of Ava’s husband, who was originally played in Sin City by Michael Clarke Duncan
