Peacock has released the official trailer for Twisted Metal, their upcoming post-apocalyptic action-comedy series, which is based on the hit video game series of the same name. 

Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick created the series from an original idea, with Michael Jonathan Smith penning the script. Their version will follow "a motor-mouthed outsider (Anthony Mackie) 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 badass axe-wielding car thief (Stephanie Beatriz), he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown (Samoa Joe) who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck."

The main cast features Anthony Mackie as John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, Neve Campbell as Raven, Samoa Joe as Sweet Tooth, Will Arnett as the voice of Sweet Tooth, Richard Cabral as Loud, and Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone. 

Twisted Metal premieres, exclusively on Peacock, with its ten-episode first season on July 27!

Check out the official trailer below:

Twisted Metal, a half-hour live-action TV series based on the classic PlayStation game series, is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and written by Michael Jonathan Smith, about a motor-mouthed outsider 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 badass axe-wielding car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.

The writing sounds good. They’ve got the Zombieland and Deadpool guys writing the show, but everything else looks cheap.

@santoanderson - Zombieland 1 or 2? That mkes a BIG difference as I love the 1st one so much and that 2nd one was poodoo.

Not so much Fast and Furious, more Slow and Slightly Miffed.

Looks dumb. Mackie isn't leading type material, he just doesn't have that charisma.

So they gender swapped Calypso?

The irony of a woke Twisted Metal show...

I like Mackie, he's just not a draw. Hes not a bad actor, just not a leading man type.

@AvalonX - Sorry, did I miss something in the trailer? Who is playing Calypso?
AvalonX
AvalonX - 7/11/2023, 2:42 PM
@SATW42 - neve campbell although I think they call her something different.
SATW42
SATW42 - 7/11/2023, 3:43 PM
@AvalonX - yeah they call her Raven, a character from the game who is not calypso. Maybe theres a twist coming but at no point did I think neve was Calypso because I know the character Raven and mained her all the time in Twisted Metal Black.
AvalonX
AvalonX - 7/12/2023, 4:55 PM
@SATW42 - I mean, shes offering/granting the wish in the trailer. Maybe I dont remember the characters right. Wasn't Raven just one of the other drivers? You could be right, she could just be telling him about it.

So twisted metal the comedy series? The [frick]!?!?

@EZBeast - ikr? This is like they read a synopsis on Wikipedia, watched some gameplay, then decided to remake the zombie land shoe.

Might be fun, but this isn't twisted metal.

EZBeast - 7/11/2023, 10:57 AM
@Origame - I understand how they might need SOME comedic aspects for how absurd this world is but wtf death race and mad max are more twisted metal than this “twisted metal”

@EZBeast - original death race had more comedy one with Stallone in it

it looks goofy, which can work for this type of show. I just think if you're going to cast Samoa Joe, you don't need to have someone else do the voice. It's not like he's just a big dude in the ring, he has mic skills and I think would've been perfect for this role. Arnett doesn't have the rage that Joe does.

Mackie has nothing outside the MCU… I feel almost awful typing that too!

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Idk he has been in 19 non MCU films since joining the MCU. He Cleary has a working career, maybe not anything massive though.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Well, out of the 74 projects he’s got under his belt and the other 12 coming up less than 15% are in the MCU and he’s been and is consistently working for the last 2 decades so I don’t really see how you get ‘he has nothing outside the MCU’

Am I the only one who liked it? Neve Campbell was my first crush. And I'm a huge wrestling nerd so Samoa Joe is an appeal too. And I was a big fan of the series and like a lot of franchises, I feel like the 2nd one was the best one.
WarMonkey
WarMonkey - 7/11/2023, 4:33 PM
@TREE24K - I think I might like this. So far I like the vibe they were going for.

This looks like it would have been a Freddie Wong/ Corridor Digital YouTube fan series from 2012.

It feels generic, set pieces, car chases, quick campy one-liners, I don't see the "uniqueness" of this.

WHYYYYYY would you cast Samoa Joe and then overdub his dialogue? He's got the voice.

TheLobster - 7/11/2023, 1:18 PM
Looks like it could possibly be dumb fun? I’ll give it a try.

Also; Neve Campbell swoon

Really not feeling this. I’m gonna give it a try. I wonder if they should have made the show like a Battle Royal like Running Man but with cars and guns and Mackie has to win for his freedom.
