Deadline is reporting that actor and rock musician Marilyn Manson, aka Brian Warner, has joined the third season of Starz’s American Gods small-screen adaptation.
Wengren and Blood Death will serve as a source of power for Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) in his war with the new Gods.
Manson, who will also be appearing in CBS All Access’ The Stand limited series, will fittingly play Johan Wengren, the lead singer of the Viking death metal band Blood Death.
American Gods is adapted from Neil Gaiman’s award-winning novel.
