Josh Brolin confirmed to join "Sin City 2" cast

The "No Country for Old Men" star will replace Clive Owen in the role of Dwight. Meanwhile it's being reported that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also signed on for SC2 joining Brolin and returning stars Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Jessica Alba. Here are some excerpts from the official press release announcing Brolin's participation:

Today Dimension Films announced another big name that has been added to the SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR cast roster, further ramping up the ensemble – Academy Award® nominee Josh Brolin (GANGSTER SQUAD, MILK).  Brolin will star as “Dwight” in the follow up to FRANK MlLLER’S SIN CITY for co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.  

In SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell.  Chronologically, this story takes place prior to “The Big Fat Kill” (featured in the film FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face.

“We’re looking forward to Josh’s take on Dwight,” said Rodriguez and Miller.
