I just don't understand why they would omit Eddie when the perfect representation has been running around in media since GTA V.

Really hope this means that Blaine will be in the movie.

Seeing as from the leaked trailer it looks like Jake's bit will be adapted from his section of The Wastelands it looks likely.

There's also rumors that Wizard and Glass is going to be a TV show to be released after the first movie with Roland telling the story to Jake.

Omit Eddie? :(

He's a pretty grating character at times (like any of them, I guess), but the whole sequence of Eddie being drawn and then detoxing while Roland nearly dies is some of King's best writing ever.

Eddie isn't in this film but the director has said he's showing up in the sequel (if they get one.)

Every species can smell its own extinction.
And what about Odetta/Detta/Susannah?

The greatest sensual pleasure there is is to know the desires of another!

None of the characters have to show up at their usual point sin the story because this is considered a brand new loop that we haven't seen before.

The writers will turn her into Beth/Becky/Bianca and make her a racist white woman that says all manner of racial slurs at Idris Elba that he doesn't react to.

Thinking about the inevitable sequel, I think Susannah needs to be black and Eddie definitely needs to be a white cokehead NY from the eighties.

It's very important to realize that Steven King was in the series from book 2, his name was just Eddie.

And she will be a raging Republican.

The best part would be Roland literally not understanding the slurs because they're from a totally alien context to him.
