Twisted Metal
Summary
After the first season laid the groundwork for a more faithful take on the games , my interest inTwisted Metalseason 2 just burgeon forth right up thanks to some stark casting news show . Having been burned by most TV biz adaptations in the past ( Doom , Netflix’sResident Evil ) , I went into Peacock’sTwisted Metalwith trepidation . It ’s not like the series demand to be close to any one title - considering each game essentially bring up the story anyway - but capturing their unique lawless tone and humour was always going to be a challenge .
While the serial publication could have used more action and a tight plot line , it was still good fun , with Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz cause for appeal lead . The first time of year did n’t have much in the way of vehicular carnage , butTwisted Metal’sendingestablished the titular demolition bowler hat itself would appear in the second time of year . Not only that , it promise to insert definitive theatrical role like Axel , Mr Grimm andthe evil boniface of " Twisted Metal " itself , Calypso .
Peacock ’s Twisted Metal telecasting serial get many modification to the cult video recording game dealership , but it still sport many of the same characters .
Anthony Carrigan Has Been Cast As Calypso In Twisted Metal
Twisted Metal’s biggest villain will finally appear
The finale of season 1 gave a brief Calypso teasing , and I could n’t be happier with the news Anthony Carrigan has been cast in the role . For the uninitiated , Calypso is the antagonist of every game in the serial publication and labor organizer of theTwisted Metaltournament . In interchange for hazard their lives and putting on a good show for him , the succeeder of any given tournament will be award their heart ’s nifty desire by Calypso .
Twisted Metalmight offer up a more grounded take on the tourney ’s legion , but regardless , Anthony Carrigan ’s casting as Calypso has made me doubly excited for what happen next .
The game unremarkably portray Calypso as a unholy figure and the wishes he grants come with some ironic twistthat results in their doom . For instance , Sweet Tooth ’s wish in the 2012’sTwisted Metalgame was to be reunited with the only one of his dupe who escaped ; when Calypso grants his wish , it ’s revealed that enjoin victim had die years before and Sweet Tooth is leave buried alive with her body .

I ca n’t waitress to see howthe upcomingTwisted Metalseason 2uses Calypso , and if it stays genuine to his supernatural nature . Despite all the outlandish action and character feature during Peacock ’s series , there was nothing to suggest the supernatural also existed . The show might offer up a more grounded take on the tourney ’s host , but regardless , Anthony Carrigan ’s casting as Calypso has made me doubly excited for what encounter next .
Anthony Carrigan’s Past Roles Prove Why He’s A Great Fit For A Twisted Metal Villain
Twisted Metal could use some of that NoHo Hank energy
Calypso by his very nature is a shady figure , but Carrigan ’s casting intimate he ’ll have more silver screen time in the hot - actionTwisted Metal . Carrigan ’s most famous role by far is NoHo Hank from HBO’sBarry , a Chechen gangster whose unfailingly sunny attitude made him the breakout fictional character . Carrigan was incredible on the show and could bring some of that same energy to the Calspso character , especially when he ’s examine to convince number one wood to take part in his dying race .
The only plot where Calypso himself was a playable part wasTwisted Metal 4 .
Of course , Carrigan has other standout roles in his filmography . I loved his memorable take onBatmanvillain Victor Zsasz in Gotham , which felt like a prototype for his twist as NoHo Hank . That say , he was more menacing onGotham , soa combining of Zsasz and NoHo Hank would make for a great take on Calypso . I ’m just excited to see what he does with the part , since there ’s no real templet for how Calypsoshouldbe play .

How Twisted Metal Teased Calypso’s Role In Season 2
Twisted Metal’s season finale teased the titular tournament
buff of the game were irritated that Peacock’sTwisted Metaltook so many detour ( deplorable ) from series formula , and the absence seizure of the actual tournament . What delighted me about the closing was realizing that all of time of year 1 had been a prequel . Mackie ’s John Doe serve as a tour guide that introduced viewing audience to the world and characters , butnow the prequel homework is done , the upcoming second season can have the volatile havoc inherent to the games . The last scenes ofTwisted Metaleven saw Calypso ( from behind ) as he mutely laid out the contenders for his competition .
on the button how season 2 will entrap the story is another motion . I ’m expecting a lot more in the manner of races , but ten episode of invariant action would be dull . The new season will likely flux the character - based dramatic play of the first series with the frenetic action of the games . That sounds like a hard Libra the Scales , but the casting of an histrion like Anthony Carrigan afford me organized religion the 2nd time of year will deliver theTwisted Metaladaptation I always wanted to see .
