Jessica Alba will star in Sin City 2

Jessica Alba will reprise her role as stripper Nancy Callahan in a Sin City sequel.

The beauty and co-star Mickey Rourke are the first to confirm their roles in the 3D follow-up to the 2005’s hit flick.

Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For will be directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller – the creator of the comic book series the original film was based on.

Other cast members are expected to return but no other names have been confirmed.

Shooting will take place in Austin, Texas at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios ahead of a release on October 4, 2013.

The first instalment of the crime thriller – set in the corrupt world of Basin City – also starred Benicio Del Toro, Rosario Dawson and Bruce Willis and was released in 2005.

It was a surprise it at the box office, taking £100million on a budget of just £25million.

Jessica has a number of movie roles coming up including Escape from Planet Earth where she voices the part of Lena and Machete Kills.

Mickey also has forthcoming films including Java Heat and Black November.
