Mark Hamill might have a role in Twisted Metal season 3, but he's still not entirely sure what the show actually is.
Hamill will play the Pope of New York, AKA Charlie Kane, in the video game adaptation, a previously unseen figure who is the father of Sweet Tooth.
"They sent me this script, and I started reading this thing. I go, 'What IS this?' Yeah, it's twisted, but I just didn't get it. So they sent me a link to watch the episodes, and I watched the episodes, and I went, 'I still don't get it,'" said Hamill at FAN EXPO Anaheim, via Screen Rant.
"And now I'm in it, and what's so wonderful is, even though I don't get it, my character benefits from not being tethered to reality," he continued. "I play an ex-cabbie, also an ex-crook, who now is the Pope of New York. You heard me right, P-O-P-E, Pope. I get the hat and everything. And I'm telling you, you put that hat on, it sort of changes you. And he's nuts, totally nuts. So I'm having a great time."
While Hamill is, of course, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars universe, he also recently played the villainous Major in The Long Walk, while he also continued voicing Art Rosebaum in Invincible season 4.
Along with Hamill, Twisted Metal also stars Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Will Arnett, and Joe Seanoa.
"Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz are so good; they're so good together," Hamill also said. "Their chemistry is great, and I'm always delighted to work with actors I've never worked with before. It's great fun. We're going back there next week; I'll be gone for two months. I won't be here for the Fourth of July."
