Twisted Metal: Exclusive Poster Debut for Peacock’s PlayStation Adaptation

[Sick85]

IGN can exclusively reveal the new poster for Twisted Metal (seen below), which is officially described as “a high-octane action comedy” starring Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz. The first teaser trailer for Twisted Metal debuts online tomorrow, Thursday the 27th.

Though inspired by the classic PlayStation game series, the show is based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) and written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai).
According to the official synopsis, Twisted Metal follows “a motor-mouthed outsider [who is] offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.”

In addition to Mackie and Beatriz, Twisted Metal’s castincludes Joe Seanoa (AEW), Will Arnett (Arrested Development), and Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man: No Way Home).
This could turn out really bad but I’ll definitely watch it for the nostalgia

Just hope they get Sweet Tooth right and try not to hold back

Good luck with that if it's being described as an "action comedy." Twisted Metal Black was the furthest thing from comedy.

....

Can't wait!!!

(to see how bad this will be)

 

[Sonny Qc]

Wait, it's Will Arnett who will plays Sweet Tooth?

 

[Ruke Doufus]

So much potential but soon as they threw comedy in there you know it will be trash. Twisted metal black had enough compelling storylines you could easily make an interesting movie/show about it but it certainly wouldn't be a comedy.

Man, that game tripped me out

That game is the reason I love “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones

Ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks

Scared to death, scared to look, they shook

ahhhh, much better

AEW Superstar Samoa Joe Playing Sweet Tooth in ...

3 juin 2022 — It was announced earlier this week that Will Arnett will be *voicing* Sweet Tooth

Samoa Joe at the end there

So basically someone at Peacock wants something similar to Guardians, got everything developed and whatnot, then found a random franchise to license and paint over what they had developed. Not excited about it being an “action comedy” but may give it a go for Mackie.

If they make it a dark comedy it could definitely work. I'm not massively holding out hope though

 

[MDoza]

Damn, Anthony Mackie is everywhere.

Looks like they are going for The Suicide Squad + Fast and Furious vibe.

 

[xHeadx]

Coincidentally, listening to Mobb now

The show, however, looks like ass. Hope not though.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any dumber..

Just saw that teaser, I was expecting it to be bad and still feel disappointed.

Can't be worse than the Halo TV series?
