Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas have been linked to roles in the sequel to 2005's acclaimed hardboiled action movie 'Sin City'.
Speaking to MTV about the possibility of Depp starring in the upcoming movie, co-director Robert Rodriguez said: "He was interested in doing the Jackie Boy character that Benicio [del Toro] played [in 'Sin City'], but he was doing that movie 'Libertine' in Europe and it just kept getting pushed and delayed and went right through our shooting schedule."
Rodriguez said that there would be an even better role for Depp in the sequel.
The director also spoke of the possibility of Banderas starring in the film.
"When I showed him the first sample of the work, he went, 'Man I'll do anything in that. I'll be the hunchback. You have to bring me onboard, that looks amazing,'" said Rodriguez.
Banderas worked with Rodriguez on the 'Spy Kids' films, 'Desperado' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico'; Depp also starred in 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico'.
The second 'Sin City' movie will see Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen and Jessica Alba reprise their roles from the first film.
