Many fans can’t wait for Anthony Mackie to take the spotlight in Captain America:  New World Order. However, the Avengers alum is also set to star in Peacock’s adaptation of the Twisted Metal games. A new trailer is expected to drop tomorrow, and we have our first poster teasing Mackie’s character and franchise mascot Sweet Tooth.

With the Twisted Metal franchise being similar to the likes of Mad Max, IGN says that the show is more of an action-comedy take from Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick with a script from Cobra Kai’s Michael Jonathan Smith.

As for the plot, Twisted Metal is said to follow “a motor-mouthed outsider [who is]  offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.”

Besides Mackie, the series includes Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Encanto) and Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3). Pro-wrestler Joe Seanoa will also play the role of Sweet Tooth with the voice provided by Will Arnett (BoJack Horseman).

I’ll admit, the purple smoke in the posters doesn’t scream Twisted Metal at me. Still, if the show is anything like Zombieland, we can expect the series to bring together some gory action alongside some comedy.

Watch out for Twisted Metal when it premieres on Peacock on July 27.
