Will Arnett has joined the cast of Peacock’s series adaptation of the awesome video game franchise Twisted Metal. He will provide the voice of the iconic main character Sweet Tooth.
Sweet Tooth is described as “a hilarious and terrifying hulk of a man, who is as emotional as he is cunning. A lover of chaos, this majestic rage-filled killer dons an ever-smiling clown mask and uses ‘Lost Vegas’ as his own personal kill-ground, all while he drives his infamous doomsday ice cream truck.”
The series will center on a “motor-mouthed outsider John Doe (Mackie) who is offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he’ll face savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown named who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck, Sweet Tooth.”
Arnett joins Anthony Mackie, who stars in the series as John Doe, Stephanie Beatriz as Quite, Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone, and Neve Campbell.
Cobra Kai writer Michael Jonathan Smith is developing the series, which is based on an original take by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland). It’s said to be a high-octane action-comedy. Will Arnett is also a producer.
