The long-proposed The Dark Tower television spinoff is still on track, and Idris Elba will almost certainly be involved.
It would also allow new viewers to dive into the universe without necessarily having to see the Dark Tower movie first.
While Star Wars and Marvel have both used TV and film to tell stories, The Dark Tower would still be pioneering in continuing one specific tale across the two mediums.
Long before Marvel had a shared film and television universe, the plan was for The Dark Tower to bounce back and forth between a film and season of TV.
