Barry and Gotham actor Anthony Carrigan has joined the cast of Peacock‘s Twisted Metal Season 2 and he will be a regular in the next chapter of the story.
Carrigan will take on the role of Calypso, who is a character from the Twisted Metal video game. He’s described as “the mysterious, charismatic host and creator of a dangerous demolition derby tournament, who invites all assassins, vigilantes, mercenaries and joyriders to participate.
“To the winner, he offers the prize of making their greatest wish come true, but with Calypso there’s always a twist.”
This seems like another great role for Carrigan, who will next appear in A24’s Death of a Unicorn and James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, where he will play Metamorpho.
Also joining the cast are Richard de Klerk (A Teenage Prophet, Strange Empire), Patty Guggenheim (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Florida Girls), and Tiana Okoye (Panhandle Mrs. Davis) in recurring guest roles.
Twisted Metal is based on the popular PlayStation video games and the series stars Anthony Mackie as John Doe. Season 1 saw the “motor-mouthed outsider 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 badass axe-wielding car thief, he faces savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.”
The cast also includes Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, Joe Seanoa aka Samoa Joe as the body of Sweet Tooth, Will Arnett as the voice of Sweet Tooth and Thomas Haden Church as Agent Stone.
Twisted Metal was developed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who executive produce alongside showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith.
