Per SyFy Wire, Mackie plays John Doe, “a fast-driving and quick-witted milkman looking for a true sense of belonging in the post-apocalyptic landscape of vehicular mayhem.” It sounds just as crazy as the games, which means it just might work. Mackie revealed that while he’s not actively filming any projects right this second, he’s preparing to start shooting Twisted Metal “in a few weeks.” Speaking of Mackie, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier star recently hyped up the Twisted Metal series while he was on the red carpet at the CMT Awards, which he co-hosted. Nonetheless, if there’s anything shows like Arcane and now Halo are proving, it’s that game adaptations don’t need to follow the source material exactly to be a success.Īnthony Mackie will be “driving cars and blowing stuff up” in Twisted Metal Technically this makes it the longest running exclusive series Sony has on the PlayStation platforms, but it’s been a decade since we’ve seen any new title in the franchise, which makes you wonder how much of a fanbase is waiting in the wings for this thing.

The first Twisted Metal game came out in 1995 on the Playstation. It’s Mad Max, but if there wasn’t really any story and the whole point is just to blow up your friends.

I say “interesting,” because on the surface Twisted Metal is about as unlikely a choice for a small screen adaptation as it gets. ![]() ![]() One of the more interesting game adaptations in the works is Twisted Metal, which is in development at Peacock and stars the MCU’s current Captain America, Anthony Mackie. At the movies, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Uncharted, and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City have all released in the past few months. ![]() Hollywood has been grabbing up rights to major game properties left and right HBO is making The Last of Us Netflix has Arcaneand an upcoming series based on Resident Evil Paramount+ is currently airing the first season of Halo and Amazon has adaptations of Fallout, Mass Effect, and possibly even God of War on the way. Video game adaptations have a shaky reputation, but they’re seeing a pretty big resurgence right now.
