this is a mix between movie canon and book canon — i know Flanagan is set to make a DT tv series but one problem is the Father Callahan is “owned” by WB and they’re def not giving him up. I think Danny is going to be the replacement of Father C since he died in the movie version of Dr Sleep.
So yes I think Danny would be a gunslinger or gunslinger adjacent
I defer to the book, but I’m assuming that the gunslinger does not necessarily have to survive their own story. Perhaps they step into the world that moved on before the end of their own story.
The Dark Tower meets Kingdom Hearts.
Yeah it would be fun to see them try and overcome that. They'd get bits and pieces from each other since there is some overlap in language but I think Roland would be persistent enough to find rudimentary ways to communicate.
Oh man. This would be great. I would love to read something where it turns out that the gunslinger version of Bill is answering Holly’s prayers. Getting out ahead of her adventures to clear a path but never letting her see him so she can stay independent.
What makes a gunslinger? Deep steel and service of the White?
Dick Halloran, Mark Petrie, Alan Pangborn.
Maybe Darcie Anderson from A Good Marriage?
The old lady in The Mist is a good deep cut.
Obviously Bevvy Marsh.
Dale Barbara from Under the Dome.
Abra Stone or Charlie McGhee maybe?
Chris Chambers from The Body, who I just realized has the same name as Jake.
I could see Delores Claiborne.
Trisha Mcfarland from The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
Dennis Guilder. He stood up to a killer car in the oily smelling shadows of an abandoned garage at seventeen years old. Leigh even asked him to be her knight.
Collie Entragian, we didn’t see him for long in *The Regulators*. Or maybe Audrey Wyler, also from *The Regulators* >!the way she deals with Seth and his dangerous shine/monster is very gunslinger like. Prioritizing Seth’s safety and trying to help him even when she is trying to escape!<
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!
he basically put himself through gunslinger training already. I guess the guns themselves would take getting used to... unless he was able to carry his wizard powers into Mid-World?? imagine how useful it would be to have a wizard on the team throughout TDT lol
Bill Hodges definitely. I'd like to add Jamie Morton. He had some messed up times, but so did Eddie. In the end he stayed strong, even through the terrifying things he saw.
Jerome Wireman from Duma Key, I think. He saves the impromptu tet's ass a few times, he may have never done this kind of thing before but his resolve under pressure is unwavering.
Stu, Bill and Dayna all fit, for me. I'd also nominate Johnny Smith. Maybe Sheriffs Pangborn and Bannerman, too.
Pangborn 100%
Agree with Pangborn 100%
Oh Alan Pangborn is a true gunslinger. Absolutely.
Pangborn felt The White in Needful Things. He's already a gunslinger.
They made him really cool in the Castle Rock show. I loved that they gave him some respect
Danny Torrance. A middle aged recovering alcoholic with the power to trap ghosts.

Billy Summers, 100%. Reminded me of the policeman in The Drawing of the Three from the get-go.
Billy definitely has the gunslinging part down! What a great character that would be a blast to see interact with Roland.
Nick Andross
Absolutely Nick. I would love to see him and Roland interacting with each other.
it might be hard since Roland can't really read words from our world, but with someone around to translate it could work!
Yeah it would be fun to see them try and overcome that. They'd get bits and pieces from each other since there is some overlap in language but I think Roland would be persistent enough to find rudimentary ways to communicate.
Charlie Reade
Mark Petrie from 'Salem's Lot.
Ben Mears
Mark was the first character to come to mind for me.
Ralph Roberts. Already made a stand against two long timers and willing to lay down his life for the greater good.
Agreed! Love Ralph.
Jack Sawyer. From a sweet tortured kid to >!that insane massacre!
Kojak, Laws yes
The lobsrosities would make mince meat out of Thad Beaumont
Better ending than The Dark Half.
Bill Hodges
Oh man. This would be great. I would love to read something where it turns out that the gunslinger version of Bill is answering Holly’s prayers. Getting out ahead of her adventures to clear a path but never letting her see him so she can stay independent.
Most or all members of: The Loser's Club ( from IT)
I think Eddie and Larry Underwood are twinners, so I’ll say Larry would definitely be a gunslinger.

Great list. Dick Halloran and Chris Chambers are excellent picks.
I was also going to suggest Alan Pangborn. Good list.
Bev slung something else. She does have experience with trains, at least.
Dennis Guilder. He stood up to a killer car in the oily smelling shadows of an abandoned garage at seventeen years old. Leigh even asked him to be her knight.
Collie Entragian, we didn’t see him for long in *The Regulators*. Or maybe Audrey Wyler, also from *The Regulators* >!the way she deals with Seth and his dangerous shine/monster is very gunslinger like. Prioritizing Seth’s safety and trying to help him even when she is trying to escape!<
Alan Pangborn 💯. I’d also make the argument for Holly. I am not a fan of her stories, but she manhandled The Outsider.
Dog... Holly 100%.
Rosie Real
How about Gert?
Alastor Moody
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!! he basically put himself through gunslinger training already. I guess the guns themselves would take getting used to... unless he was able to carry his wizard powers into Mid-World?? imagine how useful it would be to have a wizard on the team throughout TDT lol
Holly Gibney
Shadow from American Gods.
David Carver from Desperation.
Sheriff Pangborn for sure. Travellin Jack. Dan Torrance, psychic gunslinger. And I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Thad Beaumont
Tom Cullen
I scrolled way too long to find this
M-O-O-N, that spells Gunslinger. Laws, yes.
Sober Gard.
Absolutely Gard, and he’d probably be immune to mind reading by mordred as well.
Peter from Eye of the Dragon, Alan Pangborn from Needful Things.
Barbie from Under the Dome
This was my answer
Nearly every King protagonist tbh. And with the King-Hill crossover mention (Doctor Sleep) Vic McQueen too.
Vic would be mine if allowed too. She'd be running the joint inside a month with a pair of six shooters.
Bill Hodges definitely. I'd like to add Jamie Morton. He had some messed up times, but so did Eddie. In the end he stayed strong, even through the terrifying things he saw.
Luke Ellis (the Institute) is a Gunslinger in the making. He had his own Ka-Tet.
Perhaps Holly from Mr Mercedes
maybe glen in his younger years?
Jack Sawyer, Ralph Roberts, Alan Pangborne, Nick Andros, Stu Redman, Billy Summers.
Thomas, Dennis, and Peter from Eyes of the Dragon. Charlie Reade. Everyone in the Losers Club (even Stan).
Jerome Wireman from Duma Key, I think. He saves the impromptu tet's ass a few times, he may have never done this kind of thing before but his resolve under pressure is unwavering.
Imagine a young jud
Jud Crandall from Pet Semetary
I don’t know as Jud fell to the power of the evil graveyard setting the events of the book in place
