Anthony Mackie will star in upcoming 'Twisted Metal' TV series as John Doe

Deadline reported earlier this week that Marvel's new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, will star in the upcoming "Twisted Metal" TV show. "Twisted Metal" is pretty inarguably the best car combat video game series of all time, and while we haven't had a new installment in the series for many years, the fact that things seem to be progressing with a television show is a great sign that a new game could be in the works.

Mackie will be playing a presumably human character by the name of John Doe, and if the show sticks closely to the storyline of the games, he may be piloting a 1976 Pontiac LeMans colloquially called "Roadkill," one of the least zany of the main crop of vehicles available in the games. It sounds like the series will also feature fan favorite character Needles Kane driving the Sweet Tooth ice cream truck as well, but there's no word yet on who'll be bringing that character to the screen. Consider us excited.
