Jeremy Renner to play legendary gunslinger Doc Holliday

May 2, 2017 by Samuel Brace

Many a top actor has brought the role of legendary Wild West gunslinger Doc Holliday to life, from Val Kilmer, Kirk Douglas, and Dennis Quaid. And now Marvel star Jeremy Renner will get his chance.

PalmStar Media has optioned the rights to the novels Doc and Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral by Mary Doria Russell, and with Renner as the star, the movie will be produced alongside The Combine, the company behind the Michael Keaton led The Founder.

The two novels are said to be seminal works on Holliday who took part in the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral with Wyatt Earp.

“We are excited to re-introduce this classic American character to a whole new audience by chronicling Doc Holliday’s incredible transformation from average Joe dentist to a man who Wyatt Earp called the ‘nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun [he] ever knew,’”

Holliday certainly is a charismatic character that should have no problem holding his own movie. We will have to see if Renner is up to the task of filling his boots.
