Mickey Rourke has been back on the Hollywood radar lately having appeared in the critically acclaimed Darren Aronofsky film “The Wrestler”. However, it seems that Rourke is having a bit of an inner conflict when he has recently talked about his recurring role as ‘Marv’ in the upcoming “Sin City 2″.
Rourke spoke with MTV News’ Kurt Loder recently and stated that both he and Frank Miller were ready to get to work on the long-awaited sequel. However, the next week, Rourke spoke with ComingSoon.net and admitted that he may not actually be as enthusiastic about playing ‘Marv’ as he was the week before.
“No, I’m not interested in that right now. That’s not a reality right now. It’s pissing in the wind,” Rourke admitted. “There’s different factions going different directions there. I don’t know. That’s three hours of make up and I’m claustrophobic, so I’m going to have to work something out.”

I think Mickey Rourke knows a good thing when he sees it and Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s ‘Sin City 2′ is definitely one of them. Although Frank Miller has already turned in a script for the sequel to the blockbuster Sin City, Robert Rodriguez is unsure of when they should shoot the project because of his busy schedule. In a recent interview, Mickey Rourke talked about the Sin City 2 project:
When asked directly if Rourke would be willing to don the bandages and trenchcoat, the actor admitted it hasn’t been top of mind but that he isn’t closing doors. “I don’t really think about that,” he replied. “That’s really not my forte, that type of thing.” But that said, re-teaming with his former director is enough of a motivating factor to get Rourke back into the gritty world of Frank Miller’s “Sin City.”
I have a lot of respect for Robert Rodriguez,” he enthused. “It scares the piss out of me to sit in make-up for three hours [but] if the role is written the right way, I would do it because it was a good experience. I wasted a lot of time. I want to work with interesting directors. I’m going to do a lot of work because of the time I wasted.”
