It’s official people, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has officially signed on to star in the sequel from Robert Rodriguez called SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is set to play the role of Johnny (which was a role that was originally offered to Johnny Depp) which is apparently a character that has overlapping story lines with the characters played Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and Rosario Dawson. With this bit of news we are also learning that JGL is now out for the lead in the Marvel Studios upcoming GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, which quite frankly is great since he was way too good for that film. If he’s going to be a superhero I want him to take on the role of Batman.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt can be seen next in DON JON’S ADDICTION alongside Scarlett Johansson which opens at the Sundance Film Festival next week. (Deadline)
