According to Ciaran Hinds (the actor that played him), Mance is dead as he is done for the season and has not been asked to reprise his role. He may just be being clever, but the whole 'glamour' thing is just too convoluted for television, IMO.

Thank GOD. I like Victarion and all, but there's absolutely no need for him at all. So much of that book is just shit for the sake of shit. We know what his purposes is - get the stupid horn to Daenerys and then die. That's how this is going to go down. She'll have the horn, tame dragons, wax some ass.
So why the hell do I need
hundreds of pages bitching about Euron and the Damphair just to get a !@#$ing horn to a bubble-headed tween princess that seems more interested in banging her general than actual ruling anything?
By books 4 and 5, the television series will be better than the books. There's just way too much crap in the books at this point. If I see Quentyn friggen Martell show up I'll just give up altogether.
