AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Mark Hamill is joining the cast of Peacock's Twisted Metal series for its third season, playing Pope Charlie Kane, the father of Sweet Tooth.
The Twisted Metal television adaptation is adding some serious sci-fi royalty to its roster. According to a report by Deadline and covered by Eurogamer, industry legend Mark Hamill has officially joined the cast for the upcoming third season on Peacock. Hamill is slated to play Pope Charlie Kane, a character well known to fans of the classic vehicular combat game series as the father of the iconic, flaming-headed killer clown Sweet Tooth.
In the source material, Charlie Kane pilots the Yellow Jacket taxi, but the streaming adaptation is giving the character a fresh twist by making him the leader of a faction called The Eastern Sovereignty. Anthony Mackie, who stars as protagonist John Doe and serves as an executive producer on the series, shared his enthusiasm for the casting, calling it an incredible honor to work alongside someone who has influenced generations of actors.
The casting announcement follows a strong run for the Peacock adaptation. Twisted Metal secured a third-season renewal back in November after its second season pulled in close to a billion viewing minutes on the platform. With production gearing up and major talent stepping into the fray, the show continues to bridge the gap between classic PlayStation lore and modern serialized streaming entertainment for fans across console and cloud platforms alike.
