The Dark Tower Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

Dark Tower Dennis Haysbert

As Roland recites the creed, there's the briefest of glances at Roland's father Steven Deschain, played by the excellent Dennis Haysbert.

This is clearly a flashback to Roland's younger days and will likely be only a tiny part of the movie, but Haysbert is a terrific choice nevertheless and certainly looks the part.

Can he just play Idris Elba's dad in everything now, please?
