Of course, we should also mention that there are rumors that PlayStation Studios is working on a Twisted Metal game reboot/revival for PS5. There are stylistic and narrative elements that help tie the various games together, but even recurring characters are typically recast and changed slightly from entry to entry. That would honestly be pretty challenging to do in the first place since each game in the series stars a mostly new cast of characters with unique motivations. Then again, what little we do know about this upcoming show suggests that writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ( Deadpool and Zombieland) aren’t necessarily trying to stick as close to the original games as possible. It’s clear that they’re retaining the amnesia aspect of the character, so there’s really no telling who John Doe will turn out to be once he (presumably) remembers who he was before he got involved in the vehicle combat competition that will still seemingly be the heart of the series. We suppose that there’s nothing preventing the show’s writers from eventually revealing that John Doe is actually an FBI agent who was somehow using the milkman guise as part of his cover. So is that what’s happening here? Well, there doesn’t seem to be an official answer to that question at this time, but it’s certainly an interesting theory.

Actually, that game reveals that the FBI has an entire division of “John Does” that they use to try to take down Calypso. John Doe does appear again in 2005’s Twisted Metal: Head-On, but it’s not the same character that we saw in Black.
