According to the Mirror out of the UK, Slipknot /Stone Sour frontman and comic book/sci-fi geek Corey Taylor has recorded his trademark on-stage roar to voice the alien warlord, the Fisher King as he battles Time Lord Peter Capaldi.

Corey, 41, is a massive Whovian and when producers heard ­Slipknot were playing in Cardiff in January, they put out feelers. An insider said: “Production got in touch with Slipknot because they heard Corey and the band love the show. They gave them a VIP tour and asked if Corey wanted to record his famous scream. He agreed instantly and was made up about it.”

Fisher King, a green hulk of a creature with horns protruding from his body, appears next Saturday. He is played by the tallest Brit, 7ft 7in Neil Fingleton, and his speaking voice is Shaun of the Dead’s Peter Serafinowicz.

In the clips below, Taylor shares his thoughts on the upcoming movie Captain America: Civil War and the highly anticipated Deadpool film:
