Bonkers New Trailer for the TWISTED METAL Series, Which Looks Like a Ton of Fun!
Peacock has released a brand new trailer for the series adaptation of the awesome classic video Twisted Metal. This is a bonkers red-band-style trailer filled with lots of violence and foul language, which is exactly what we were expecting from the series! This show looks like it’s going to be a blast, and I’m excited about watching it! You can definitely see that the show captures the spirit of the game.
The series follows a motor-mouthed outsider named John Doe (Anthony Mackie), “who is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown named who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck, Sweet Tooth.”
The cast also includes Joe Seanoa, a.k.a Samoa Joe, who is set to play the dual role of Sweet Tooth, a character that will be voiced by Will Arnett. Sweet Tooth is “a hilarious and terrifying hulk of a man, who is as emotional as he is cunning. A lover of chaos, this majestic rage-filled killer dons an ever-smiling clown mask and uses ‘Lost Vegas’ as his own personal kill-ground, all while he drives his infamous doomsday ice cream truck.”
The cast also includes Thomas Haden Church, Neve Campbell, Mike Mitchell (The Tomorrow War, Love), Tahj Vaughans (P-Valley), Lou Beatty Jr. (A Million Little Things, NCIS), and Richard Cabral (Mayans M.C., American Crime).
Cobra Kai writer Michael Jonathan Smith is developing the series, which is based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland). It’s said to be a high-octane action-comedy. The series is set to be released on July 27th.
