PSN Exclusive TV Show Powers Season 2 Adds Reservoir Dogs' Michael Madsen
Michael Madsen, known predominantly for his roles in Quentin Tarantino films like Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, as well as Free Willy, is joining the second season of Sony's Powers.
Madsen will play SuperShock, who appears in the comics so those familiar with Powers' world will already be familiar. News of Madsen's involvement was revealed on the PlayStation Blog where Powers co-creator and show producer Brian Michael Bendis said the second season has begin filming in Atlanta, GA.
The show's star, District 9's Sharlto Copley, seems to be specializing in projects tangentially, but not directly related, to video games. He has a role in the upcoming first-person film (which takes inspirations from video games) Hardcore. You can check out a trailer for that movie here.
