In the comic book Turnbull, known as “the man with the eagle-topped cane,” had the same origin, later being revealed as the father of Jonah Hex’s friend Jeb. Malkovich’s description should send a lot of hope to Hex readers who may have been real worried about the character’s adaptation to the big screen.
Malkovich sounded optimistic about the movie (good for him) and credited Brolin for convincing him to come aboard, citing the movie’s hero and director as the two reasons he signed on to do Jonah Hex.
Well I'm really glad to hear that Quentin Turnbull’s origin story will be similar to his comic book background and this western will be something nobody has ever seen before. Its a good time to be DC! ; )
