Sin City Research: Character 9 - Manute

Manute

Manute in the first film is played by Micheal Clarke Duncan, but following his passing in 2012, Denis Haysbert will take over the role for Sin City: a Dame to Kill For.

He is the ultimate muscle for hire, a huge brooding man who gets work done and is very much a no nonsense guy.  Nothing distracts him from his work.

Though he is seemingly a huge tough guy,  he would normally make a great powerhouse villain, this is some what diminished when a brawl out with Marv leaves him defeated and missing his eye. Though I like the idea, I think a villain like the Yellow Bastard is better, but as a completely different character  to Manute. The idea is good but personally I wouldn't have had him defeated so easily, even by a character as tough as Marv. Despite this, he dose prove inspirational despite his flaws.

 "This guy, he gets sliced up, hes gets shot, but he keeps coming back. He's like a mythical character that nobody understands. He's like a phoenix. He always  rises from the ashes, and you can't defeat him."
