Most of the actors involved with Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel will be able to go read the source material to draw inspiration for their characters from, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt won't have that luxury! He's playing a brand new character in a brand new story called "The Long Dark Night". In an interview with SHH, the young actor addresses this, while also revealing which other cast members we can expect to see him share scenes with.
"It's interesting. They wanted to have a movie where fans of the books would still be able to look forward to something new and unexpected, so they added a story. I remember being really intrigued by that and I was really looking forward to, ‘Oh that will be so interesting to have the actual comics to refer to as an actor' but no I didn't. I saw Bruce and Mickey (Rourke) and I have a scene together, and Jessica (Alba). I was so stoked."
We know that most of his screentime will be shared with a young stripper played by Julia Garner however. Gordon-Levitt has finished shooting his scenes for
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For which hits theaters October 3rd.
