Main Cast :
A
lone gunslinger. On the choice of Elba, director and co-writer Nikolaj Arcel
stated, "For me, it just clicked. He's such a formidable man." He
added that he's been an admirer of Elba's since The Wire.Arcel then stated,
"I had to go to Idris and tell him my vision for the entire journey with
Roland and the ka-tet". We discussed, who is this character? What's he
about? What's his quest? What's his psychology? We tried to figure out if we
saw the same guy. And we absolutely had all the same ideas and thoughts.
He
had a unique vision for who Roland would be. Stephen King himself spoke highly
of Elba, stating: "I love it. I think he's a terrific actor, one of the
best working in the business now." On the character of Roland, King noted:
"For me the character is still the character. It's almost a Sergio Leone
character, like the Man with No Name," while remarking, "He can be
white or black, it makes no difference to me. I think it opens all kind of
exciting possibilities for the backstory."
2. Matthew McConaughey as Walter o'Dim / Walter Padick / The Man in Black
An
ageless deceiver and sorcerer who also seeks to reach the tower and rule over
its seemingly infinite kingdoms. On the choice of McConaughey, Arcel stated,
"Matthew is an incredible actor who can do anything. That's how I feel
about [Walter]. He could do anything." About the character of Padick,
Arcel added, "He is this timeless sorcerer, and being a Stephen King fan,
I've read and experienced Walter in various iterations";
Arcel
making references to The Stand and The Eyes of the Dragon. "He has a very
interesting way of seeing the world. He sees it with a sort of delight, even
though he is obviously on the wrong side of the light-and-dark spectrum. He's
someone I've been having a lot of fun with." King makes mention of him
never having a clear image of the character's face, to which he explained:
"I never really thought of him. But [in the movie] he becomes a character
who isn't just a mirage that Roland is chasing. The way things are set up, he's
right there."
