10 Interesting Facts About ‘The Dark Tower’

4. Stephen King Loves the Man in Black

In The Dark Tower, Matthew McConaughey plays the Man in Black, the dark-hearted turd at the center of Roland’s strife. The Dark Tower isn’t the only one of King’s novels to put the Man in Black as the primary antagonist. He transcends many stories and goes by many names. He’s an agent of chaos who ascends to the top of a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, for example. In The Eyes of the Dragon, he’s a meddling wizard. In Hearts in Atlantis, he’s an activist. Also known as Randall Flagg, Richard Fry, the Dark Man, the Tall Man, the Midnight Rambler, the Walkin’ Dude, the Monster, and a whole host of others, the Man in Black is a nasty fellow who gets off on sorrow.
