Mark Hamill Joins Twisted Metal Season 3 as 'Pope of New York'

The actor's candid remarks underline the series' embrace of surreal, untethered characters as production continues without an announced premiere.

Overview

  • Hamill confirmed at FAN EXPO Anaheim that he will play Pope Charlie Kane, an ex‑cabbie turned 'Pope of New York,' and called the role 'totally nuts' in comments reported Tuesday.
  • He said he did not understand the season‑three script when he first read it and that watching earlier episodes still left him puzzled.
  • Hamill described leaning into the show's absurd logic because his character benefits from being untethered to reality, and he said he is having a great time in the role.
  • Season 3 is in production with Hamill set for an extended two‑month shoot and the principal cast—Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Will Arnett, and Joe Seanoa—confirmed.
  • Twisted Metal is a Peacock adaptation of the violent, darkly comic video game franchise and the series' continued star casting keeps attention on when Peacock will announce a release date.
