Deadline reports that Captain America star Anthony Mackie will star in and executive produce Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions’ Twisted Metal live-action series.
Mackie will be playing John Doe, an amnesiac character that first appeared in 2001’s Twisted Metal Black.
And having a big name like Anthony Mackie involved can only help raise the project’s profile, especially given he’s been tapped to star in Captain America 4.
And though Twisted Metal doesn’t have the same brand recognition as The Last of Us currently, it seems Sony wants to make sure and change that.
