Crispin Glover played Mr. World in American Gods, and he would like to see the ending of his character’s novel appear on screen.
Crispin Glover has appeared in a number of iconic roles over the years, from playing George McFly in Back to the futureto his most recent role in one of the horror stories collected in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. While discussing his latest role in the anthology series with screen frenzyGlover was asked about another of his roles, that of Mr. World in the american gods series. While the Neil Gaiman adaptation started off strong, it started to stray from the source material and lost some viewers along the way. However, Glover would still like to return to his role, but admitted he hasn’t heard anything yet. He said:
“It was based on a great book. I love the original book by Neil Gaiman, so it was definitely one of the reasons I wanted to do it. It was the ending. Do that. Like I said, it’s a challenging but I really hope and would really like to finish it because the ending was a big part of my character I haven’t talked to Neil Gaiman about it personally but I think he wanted to get another whole season I think that the financier was offering a little less than a season, but that’s all I knew about it. For me personally, I’d like to see the whole thing come to a conclusion so it somehow correlates with the book.”
Will American Gods Season 4 Happen?
Like some other shows, american gods came to a premature end when Starz pulled the plug on the show after three seasons. The third season ended without finishing the story, but despite the cast and crew saying at the time that they would still try to wrap up the story with a limited series or a feature film finale, there’s no word on such a thing. happens.
Some shows have been saved after they were cancelled, and Netflix comes to the rescue of both Match and Manifestobut for american godsit seems that even with stars like Glover and protagonist Ricky Whittle looking to finish the Shadow Moon story properly, it may be too late for the show to return.
Since the cancellation of american godsmany of the cast members have moved on to other projects, Glover is clearly one of them, and Gaiman himself has found himself in Netflix’s adaptation of the sandman as well as the upcoming second season of Good omens. It seems that even if a studio or streamer were interested in bringing american gods back again, it wouldn’t be an easy task to put the original team back together. For that reason alone, it seems that anyone hoping for a real conclusion to the epic, visually stunning story will probably have to make do with reading Gaiman’s book and envision what they themselves could have been.
