'Westworld' actor Zahn McClarnon cast in Warner Bros' 'The Shining' sequel, 'Doctor Sleep'

Zahn McClarnon looks set to join the cast of 'Doctor Sleep,' with both Carl Lumbly and Alex Essoe expected to join as well.

The cast for Warner Brothers' movie adaptation of Stephen King's 'Doctor Sleep,' the chronological successor to 'The Shining,' is slowly beginning to take shape, with Zahn McClarnon reportedly in talks to join Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson in the sequel. Previously known for his portrayal of Hanzee Dent in season 2 of FX anthology series 'Fargo,' the actor was most recently in the news for his role as Akecheta, the Native American host in season 2 of HBO's 'Westworld.'

According to Variety, McClarnon is being considered for the role of Crow Daddy, who will be the right-hand man to Ferguson's character of Rose the Hat. McGregor has been cast in the leading role of Danny Torrance, whom the film will follow in adulthood in the aftermath of the events that unfolded in the Overlook Hotel in 'The Shining.'
