Westworld season 4 brings back The Man in Black, played by Ed Harris, despite having seemingly been blasted by his cyborg copy.
In the sci-fi mindf**k's third outing, we were led to believe that William (that's his real name) had served his time in this narrative, but a brand-new trailer confirms otherwise.

Co-creator Jonathan Nolan previously teased the Man in Black's season 4 arc back in 2020.
"I'm a big believer in being guided by irony," he said while attending The Paley Center for Media.

Westworld airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
