This character is joined by a \u201ctrigger-happy\u201d car thief, and it sounds like Sweet Tooth will be one of the many maniacs this pair will have to contend with. Mackie\u2019s character is described as a \u201csmart-ass milkman\u201d with no memory of his past. His only wish is to find a community to call his own,\u00a0and he has a chance to make that dream a reality by surviving the automotive carnage of Twisted Metal.<\/p>\n<p>The show is being helmed by <em>Deadpool<\/em> writers Rhett Reese &#038; Paul Wernick. <em>Cobra Kai<\/em> scribe Michael Jonathan Smith will write and executive produce the show alongside Electric Avenue, a production company led by Will Arnett and Marc Foreman.
