Twisted Metal is again, however not within the kind most followers hoped. As an alternative, the franchise is being remodeled right into a live-action comedy for Peacock by Sony Photos TV, PlayStation Productions, and Common Tv. It’ll be a novel tackle the property which could have a wise-cracking amnesiac preventing his means throughout a post-apocalyptic panorama to ship a bundle for the promise of a greater life.
Who’s starring within the Twisted Metallic TV present?
Anthony Mackie will star as John Doe, a milkman that has no thought who he’s or from whence he got here.

Opinion: Make a brand new recreation
The online game business collectively shot its wad regarding vehicular fight within the late Nineteen Nineties and early 2000s. We simply don’t see many video games within the style anymore. That’s to not say a brand new Twisted Metallic recreation would do poorly, although. Quite the opposite, folks have been enthusiastic about Destruction AllStars as a result of they hoped for a religious successor to Twisted Metallic. Sadly, it wasn’t what folks hoped, primarily as a result of it lacked character (and had invasive microtransactions). A well-crafted Twisted Metallic recreation may single-handedly revive this type of recreation and fulfill a fanbase that’s been asking for a brand new title for years.
