Teaser Trailer and Poster for Anthony Mackie's TWISTED METAL Series
Peacock has dropped the first teaser trailer and poster for its series adaptation of the hit video game Twisted Metal, which is sure to be a crazy fun show! I was a big fan of the original game on PlayStation, and this series looks like it’s going to be a blast!
Anthony Mackie stars in the series as a motor-mouthed outsider named John Doe, “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 described as “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 other cast members include 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).
Mitchell portrays Stu, “Mike’s best friend, the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern of this world, and together often find themselves to be more followers than fighters.”
Vaughans plays Mike, “Stu’s best friend, the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern of this world, and together often find themselves to be more followers than fighters.”
Beatty Jr. plays Tommy, “a grizzled and weathered cartographer who knows the dangers of the Wild Midwest.”
Cabral plays Quiet’s “overprotective brother Loud in the live-action video game adaptation.”
Thomas Haden Church also plays Agent Stone, and Neve Campbell.
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. Will Arnett is also a producer.
