Creepy nursery rhyme music fades in as the camera swings to the back of a blood-splattered ice cream truck, where the villain, as voiced by Will Arnett and physically portrayed by AEW wrestler Joe Seanoa, unleashes one seriously unsettling cackle. The preview for the live-action comedy show also offers a glimpse of the game’s most recognizable player, the psychotic clown Sweet Tooth, in its closing moments. Described as a high-octane action comedy based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and written by Michael Jonathan Smith ( Cobra Kai ), Twisted Metal follows Mackie’s John. He selects a “Road Mix” CD that syncs up to Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” and looks to the camera to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines,” before barreling into the engulfed, dystopian landscape of “Lost Vegas.” The brief visual begins with star Anthony Mackie behind the wheel of a ragged, gun-rigged sports car emblazoned with a “got milk?” bumper sticker befitting his previously-revealed milkman character, John Doe. Michael Jonathan Smith will write and executive produce the series. Reese and Wernick also executive produce, as will Will Arnett, Marc Forman, Peter Principato, Mackie’s manager Jason Spire, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan and Hermen Hulst.Peacock’s Twisted Metal TV series will be skidding into the summer as it was revealed in its first teaser trailer that the video game adaptation’s release date is July 27th.

“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 who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.” “‘Twisted Metal’ is a high-octane action comedy, based on an original take by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick about a motor-mouthed outsider (that’d be Doe) offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland,” the show’s logline reads.

“With no memory of his past, John gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his wish of finding community come true, but only if he can survive an onslaught of savage vehicular combat,” Sony continued. ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Moves Up Release Date
