Twisted Metal just nabbed its main villain. The upcoming Peacock Action-Comedy series will see Thomas Haden Church play the villain of the series, Agent Stone. Here’s the official description of the character:
a cold and unyielding post-apocalyptic highway patrolman who rules the roads with a silver tongue and a twisted iron fist, prosecuting even the smallest crimes with the harshest of judgements. Agent Stone will stop at nothing to bring law and order back to the Divided States of America, and will kill anyone in his path who defies his power.
The series will also star Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz, here are the descriptions of their characters.
John Doe (Mackie): a smart ass, motor-mouthed Milkman who talks as fast as he drives, facing savage vehicles of destruction as he delivers much needed supplies from one post apocalyptic settlement to another. With no memory of his family or past, John’s only goal is survival, until he gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his wish of finding community come true.
Quiet (Beatriz): a ferocious, badass car thief who acts purely on instinct – you couldn’t stop her any more than a manhole could stop a volcano. Coming from a community that oppressed her into silence, Quiet’s wish is to find her place in this dark, chaotic world. But when she becomes clouded by her need for revenge, Quiet forms an unlikely, antagonistic bond with John Doe.
Twisted Metal will stream on Peacock, it doesn’t have a release date yet.
