Matthew McConaughey Worships The Crimson King In New Teaser Image For THE DARK TOWER
Matthew McConaughey plays the villainous Man in Black in The Dark Tower movie, and the actor has today shared a teaser image which hints at the presence of a major bad guy from the Stephen King novels.
Earlier today, Matthew McConaughey took to Twitter to reveal a new teaser poster of sorts for The Dark Tower. This one teases the presence of The Crimson King, a character we only just recently learned is going to be included in this adaptation of/sequel to the series of novels by Stephen King.
Who or what is The Crimson King? That's something fans of The Dark Tower books spent years wondering, only for the eventual reveal to come as a pretty major disappointment. There, his main goal was to bring an end to all reality so he can rule over the darkness which will be unleashed by the destruction of The Dark Tower. The movie will take things in a similar direction, as he's been described as, "an insane, god-like entity who will be resurrected to rule the chaos of these collapsed worlds" should the Man in Black's mission to use Jake Chambers to break the beams of reality succeed.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, The Dark Tower is currently set to be released on February 17th, next year.
