The first season of Twisted Metal didn’t feature the car combat tournament that gave the video game franchise its name. Twisted Metal Season 2, however, is a different story. In a new preview scene from the upcoming season, the Twisted Metal tournament officially begins… and it’s glorious.
Anthony Mackie may get top billing on this show as John Doe, but it’s impossible to take our eyes off of Sweet Tooth, the psychotic clown who drives an ice cream truck into battle. AEW wrestler Joe “Samoa Joe” Seanoa physically portrays Sweet Tooth, while Will Arnett lends the character his voice. In the clip above, Sweet Tooth has his sidekick light his head on fire, just to get in the mood for the battle.
John Doe’s partner, Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz), is riding with him in the preview, while all of the other drivers are only out for themselves. Some of them don’t even make it out of the hanger before the bullets start flying.
The organizer of this carnage is Calypso, as played by Barry star Anthony Carrigan. Calypso has promised the winner of the Twisted Metal tournament a single wish. But it remains to be seen if he can deliver on the impossible promises he makes.
Tiana Okoye is also joining the cast this season as John’s sister, Dollface, with Lisa Gilroy as Vermin, Patty Guggenheim as Raven, Saylor Bell Curda as Mayhem, and Richard de Klerk as Mr. Grimm.
Twisted Metal Season 2 will premiere on Peacock on July 31.
