With the feature adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series currently shooting, we can now get our first glimpse of Matthew McConaughey as lead antagonist The Man in Black. The onset shots appeared online over the weekend, and show the Oscar-winner in full costume, complete with claw-like fingernails.

McConaughey stars opposite Idris Elba, who plays The Gunslinger Roland Deschain and was shown in costume in set pics that appeared a few weeks back. Mad Max: Fury Road’s Abbey Lee will play the mysterious and dangerous Tirana, with genre regular Jackie Earle Haley as Vampire leader Sayre.
Expect more images and snippets of info to appear from the set between now and the film’s release, scheduled for February 17th, 2017.
