Idris Elba Does Not Know What The Future Holds For ‘Dark Tower’ Series

Although The Dark Tower was intended to launch a film and television franchise, the negative reviews and poor domestic box office performance of the adaptation has left the future of those plans in a state of uncertainty for audiences. In an interview with ScreenCrush, star Idris Elba revealed that he is also unaware of what the future holds for The Dark Tower series and his character, the Gunslinger.

After being made aware of author Stephen King’s suggestion that the planned television series could be a reboot, Idris Elba was asked if the series would be connected to the recent film and if the Gunslinger would be involved, to which Elba replied:

“You know what? I didn’t know Steven said that. I don’t know, actually, where it lies. I must figure this out, I don’t know where it lies. I’m unfortunately the last to know at this point.”

There are other worlds than these. Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen.

With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.

Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, the film stars Matthew McConaughey, Idris Elba, Jackie Earle Haley, Tom Taylor and Katheryn Winnick.
