Sin City 2’s sto­ry­line is set to include some “Blue Eyes” sto­ries, which include The Colonel, played by Josh Hart­nett in the first film. Whether he shall reprise his role is as of yet uncon­firmed. Clive Owen is expected to return as Dwight and IMDB list Jes­sica Alba as Nancy Calla­han once again.

Bruce Willis shall not be return­ing as the now deceased Har­ti­gan, though if a future story fea­tured his char­ac­ter he says he would love to make a re-appearance.

There have been many rumors sur­round­ing the role of Ava Lord (stun­ningly fea­tured in the top right of our header image). In 2006 Rosario Daw­son (set to reprise her role as Gail) hinted that Angelina Jolie was Rodriguez’s prime tar­get, though since then Rose McGowan (Grind­house) and Salma Hayek have also been linked. Jolie has recently stated that she will be tak­ing a break from film­ing dur­ing 2008. The lat­est uncon­firmed rumor is that Rachel Weisz is inline to play Ava.

Both Anto­nio Ban­deras and Johnny Depp have been rumored to play Wal­lace, also rumored for a third film expected to entirely revolve around “Hell and Back”
