McConaughey will play Man in Black in The Dark Tower opposite of Idris Elba’s Gunslinger in a live-action adaptation of Stephen King’s novel series of the same name.
Matthew McConaughey in recent years has moved past romantic comedies and into the spotlight as one of the best and most prominent actors working.
It is because of this rise, dubbed the “McConaissance,” that he has continued to get offers to join big franchises, but has instead chosen to help launch a potential one with The Dark Tower.
The Dark Tower script was well written, I like the director and his take on it, and I can be the creator, the author of the Man in Black—a.k.a. the Devil—in my version of this Stephen King novel.
