Anthony Mackie Returns in Explosive ‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Hey there! Guess who’s back and ready to roll again? That’s right, it’s John, Quiet, and Sweet Tooth! The second season of Peacock’s thrilling video game adaptation, Twisted Metal, is gearing up for a summer 2025 release, and boy, does it look action-packed!

Now

Without a doubt, after the successful release of “Captain America: Brave New World,” Anthony Mackie is back, joining forces with fellow stars Stephanie Beatriz, Joe Seanoa, Will Arnett, and Thomas Haden Church. This time, they’re up against a new antagonist. You guessed it, the beloved character Calypso is making an appearance, and he’ll be brought to life by Anthony Carrigan, who might be familiar to some as NoHo Hank from the dark comedy series “Barry” on HBO.

But don’t just take our word for it — watch the teaser below!

What Do We Know So Far About ‘Twisted Metal’ Season 2?

With a long black wig that dramatically transforms his appearance, Calypso initially appears in a fleeting yet memorable scene. His likeness closely resembles the character from the game, leaving little room for mistake. For those unfamiliar with the video game upon which the series is built, let us clarify who this enigmatic figure is and why fans find him so endearing.

As a diehard cinema fan, let me share some exciting news about the upcoming season of Twisted Metal. The series takes its name from none other than Calypso, who created the Twisted Metal contest – an exclusive, high-stakes tournament that occurs every Christmas Eve and plays a pivotal role in the storyline. This demolition derby-style event is a battle royale where participants aim to eliminate all opponents and emerge as the last one standing. The victor then receives a single wish from Calypso – no catches, just pure desire fulfilled. In a post-apocalyptic America, wouldn’t that be quite an appealing proposition?

It’s a sentiment echoed in a note from Michael Jonathan Smith:

In this high-stakes situation, John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) are willing to risk everything to participate in a perilous demolition derby competition. The grand prize? A singular wish, the ultimate fulfillment of their deepest desires. However, there are sixteen other competitors with their own wishes at heart. Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz star alongside an exceptional ensemble, including Will Arnett & Joe Seanoa (Samoa Joe) as the beloved Sweet Tooth, and Anthony Carrigan as the legendary host Calypso. This season promises a rollercoaster of speed, humor, and excitement, with characters that will leave an indelible mark. Unfortunately, not everyone will make it to the finish line.

In the show named Twisted Metal, we follow John Doe (Mackie), a chatty delivery man suffering from amnesia, who embarks on a journey across a barren America to transport a puzzling parcel with undisclosed contents. The hope is that this could lead to a brighter future for him and the motley group of individuals he cares for deeply. Filming for the series concluded recently in Canada, where Mackie previously mentioned in January that they had “destroyed a lot of stuff,” which can only indicate exciting developments for fans eagerly anticipating the return of the popular and hilarious action series known for its explosive scenes.
