Dennis Haysbert To Replace Michael Clarke Duncan In ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’

by Shawn Madden

After the passing of the great Michael Clarke Duncan, fans began to wonder who who replace him in the upcoming sequel to Sin City. THR has revealed that Dennis Haysbert, who you may best remember as President David Palmer from 24 or Pedro Cerrano from Major League, will be filling the role of Manute in the film. In Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, the comic that the film is based on, Manute is pivotal character.

Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller provided an official statement:

“Manute is a character that has been part of the heart of the Sin City tales and the late Michael Clarke Duncan beautifully established that role on screen. We could not tell the story of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For without Manute and are thrilled to welcome Dennis Haysbert to the cast.”

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan Passes Away At 54

by Derek Kraneveldt

More sad news from Hollywood. Omarosa Stallworth, fiancé of Michael Clarke Duncan, let everyone know today that the actor has passed at the young age of 54.

Duncan recently suffered a heart attack in June and it seems he was not able to fully recover.

Duncan had a huge amount of acting credits under his belt. He was best known for his Oscar-nominated performance as John Coffey in Frank Darabont’s adaptation of The Green Mile. His popularity skyrocketed afterwards, having been involved in a multitude of projects in the years following.

His passing is quite unexpected. The actor’s IMDB page lists numerous projects still production. It’s too early to tell how those projects will be affected.

Duncan was well known in the geek world, being involved in titles such as Daredevil, the 2003 animated Spider-Man series, Teen Titans, Sin City, and most recently as the voice of Kilwog in last years Green Lantern.

Rest in peace big guy. You’ll be missed.
