Last week saw casting news for two comic-based movie sequels: Sin City 2 and Iron Man 3. Co-director Robert Rodriguez confirmed to MTV Movie News last week that he'd spoken to Mickey Rourke and Rosario Dawson about reprising their roles in the Sin City sequel, which is slated to start shooting this summer (see "Finally!!!--'Sin City' Sequel Shooting this Summer").  Rodriguez said that he and fellow director (and comic scribe) Frank Miller would cast the non-recurring roles in the next couple of months.

Meanwhile Iron Man 3 has added a cast member: Guy Pearce will play Aldrich Killian, according to Variety.  Pearce will appear in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, premiering in June. Iron Man 3 will premiere the first weekend of May next year, May 4, 2013 (see "Ben Kingsley in 'Iron Man 3'").
