Matthew McConaughey’s Next Scheduled Film is The Dark Tower

Matthew McConaughey’s only confirmed film of 2017 is The Dark Tower.

This year, Matthew McConaughey will have at least four films released. Unless something changes, those films will be Gold, Free State of Jones, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Sing. Out of those four, Gold is the only film that we haven’t gotten a good look at — there hasn’t been a single trailer so far. But that’s this year. Next year, McConaughey has only one movie booked so far, and it’s a biggie.

Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba will star in The Dark Tower next year, and it’s currently the only film scheduled to star McConaughey. Considering the current 2016 roster, it looks like McConaughey will be able to keep his winning streak through at least part of 2017. That’s assuming that The Dark Tower is a success, of course.

McConaughey isn’t the only True Detective actor to have high-profile project coming up — both Rachel McAdams and Colin Farrell will star in major films soon. Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are both due this year, making The Dark Tower the only 2017 project out of the bunch.

It’s probable that Matthew McConaughey’s 2017 will fill up much before too long, though unless he finally gives in  and joins a superhero franchise it’s unlikely anything he does will be as big as The Dark Tower. The same goes for Rachel McAdams and Colin Farrell, though to be fair Doctor Strange is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Still, it will be a big deal.

Next: Don't expect True Detective season three this summer.

Considering that The Dark Tower is already in production, it won’t be too much longer until we see some teasers. This one will be a big deal and should be unescapable once the ball gets rolling. That’s something we’re actually looking forward to.
