Anthony Mackie has been cast in the lead role on Sony Pictures Television’s live-action “Twisted Metal” series. Marvel’s former Falcon and future Captain America will play the John Doe role from the popular vehicular combat video-game series, which first launched in 1995.
Mackie will also executive produce the show. Sony and PlayStation Productions said in a press release on Wednesday that they are “currently in advanced development on the project and plan to take it to buyers soon.”
Doe is described as “a smart-ass milkman who talks as fast as he drives.”
“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.
