The mid-2010s were a great time for Matthew McConaughey, who found himself acquiring a new level of respect as an actor for his one-two kick of "real detective" and "betweenerstwe" in 2014. The directors seemed to have noticed them McConasansThat is why they asked him to join the Gardaxi Gardaxi cast: Volume 2. " He would play the father of the Starval Star, ego and we are sure he would do a great job. (Not that we have any complaints about Kurt Russell's performance, I warn you.)

But McConaughey declined the offer, deciding instead to star in the "Dark Tower", a fantasy film, which also came out in 2017. Since "Guardians of Galaxy: Volume 2" was a great critical/treasurer success, this film was a total flop. Fans of the book they adapted (Gunslinger) hated, critics hated it, and regular viewers thought it was forgotten. The film returned its budget to the box office, but still did not earn anywhere near to justify a sequel. Of course it seems that it was the wrong choice for McConaughey, but he had some good reasons for the decision.

"I like the" Guardians of the Galaxy "," " told the Independent At that time, "but what I saw was," it is successful, and now we have room to make a colorful part for another big name actor. " I would feel like an amendment. " Meanwhile, it will become co-to-"on the" dark tower ", serving as a significant part of the first day series. "I can be the creator, author of the man in the black - the devil - in my version of this novel by Steven King," he explained.

The logic is obviously a little strange. I do not know any fans of "Galaxy Keepers" who would describe Kurt Russell's ego as an "amendment" for one. The character served a significant, unforgettable role in the trilogy, and then left when the time was true for the character. Meanwhile, the "Dark Tower" books serve as a clear example of how the characters can be added to the sequels without feeling like changes. Two of her best, most important characters - Eddie and Susana - don't appear in book 2, and readers love them.

In the end, it is probably the main reason why McConaughey chose the "dark tower" is because the film simply liked its taste. He described the film as "a fantastic thriller that takes place in another area, an alternative universe, but it is very based". He later added: "I enjoyed getting closer to my character as if I were the devil to have fun, I got involved by exposing human hypocrites wherever he found them."

It's easy to see what he thinks; The performances of his and Idris Elba were the best parts of the film, the only elements that no one can complain about. The film itself may not have done much justice to the original material, but McConaughey has made justice to the man in black, otherwise known as Walter Padiq, or Randall FLag. (He has a lot of names.) If things went by plan, McConaughey would return to the sequels to continue to make chaos.

Instead, all the plans for sequels that the series could have, were put to the end after the film's release. Dark Tower fans spent the next few years without hope for good, faithful adaptation before Amazon announces that TV adaptation was in works In 2022. This will be led by Mike Flanagan, who has previously adapted "Doctor Sleep" and "Ericerald Game" with great success. Project details are still rareBut they will probably throw someone new in the lead roles. The future of the series "Dark Tower" in Hollywood is still bright, but unfortunately when it comes to McConaughey's role in the series, the world seems to have moved.
