Agreed, a cast change for Marv just would not sit well with the audience, and I'd be hard pressed to name someone I would be willing to see fill those shoes.

Russell Crowe probably could do it.
I personally have no great need for a Sin City 2. The first was a great piece of filmmaking in taking a graphic niovel scene for scene to the screen, but I have no need to see it again this many years later. I haven't read the books so I don't have any particular affection for the characters.
I remember them talking about cutting Marv out of the story before replacing Rourke, but i could be wrong. I personally liked Sin City a lot and would love to see them make a second one but it wouldn't be the end of days if they didn't either. I would however be pretty angry if they replaced Rourke, when i think of sin city he's the first thing that comes to my mind.... well that and elijah wood getting eaten alive with that creepy smile on his face.
I thought we already heard that Rourke was signed on for SC2? I believe he has been listed in the cast for forever on IMDB.
I've got mixed feelings about a SC2. I really enjoyed the first one for its innovative approach. But, what would a sequel really bring to the table?
No one else can play this role.
