NEW YORK, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. actor and Golden Globe nominee Mickey Rourke says his participation in a sequel to the 2005 film "Sin City" is up in the air.

"I'm not interested in that right now. No. That's not a reality right now," Rourke -- who is earning rave reviews for his work in "The Wrestler" -- told reporters in New York this week when asked if he would reprise his role of Marv in a "Sin City" sequel.

"It's pissing in the wind. There's different factors, going different directions there. I don't know. That's three hours of makeup and I'm claustrophobic, so we're going to have to work something out," he explained. "I'm working on a movie now I really like a lot called '13.' It's a remake of a French movie with Jason Statham, Ray Winstone and Curtis Jackson, (the rapper who is also known as 50 Cent). He likes to be called Curtis Jackson and he is a gentleman. And Ben Gazzara."

Topics: Curtis Jackson, Mickey Rourke, Ray Winstone
