Twisted Metal Series Starring Anthony Mackie Lands On Peacock
The Twisted Metal series is slowly coming together, and it has finally found a home on Peacock. The NBC Universal streaming service announced the video game adaptation will be landing on its service, which does not have a release date at this time.

We look forward to this incredible team blowing audiences away with this twisted and inventive concept.»
Anthony Mackie will star on the series, which was announced last year. The MCU hero will be stepping into the shoes of a milkman for the upcoming action/comedy series, playing a brand-new character.
Mackie will play John Doe, «a smart-ass milkman who talks as fast as he drives,» according to a press release. «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.»
