Lethal Liability? Mel Gibson’s Face and Name Appear Nowhere in Trailer for Peacock Limited Series, Actor’s First TV Show

This is pretty weird.

Of course, no one wants to be associated with Mel Gibson. So it should come as no surprise that neither Gibson’s face nor name appear in the teaser trailer for a new Peacock three part series called “The Continental.”

The show actually stars Colin Woodell. It’s set in the New York in the 70s where the only Continental was a gay bath house. It’s unlikely Mel is the proprietor. The Holocaust denying anti-Semite and racist doesn’t seem like he’d be doing that.

There’s plenty of gun play, as seen below, but no hint of Gibson, Hollywood’s most reviled Public Enemy Number 1. I can’t believe anyone agreed to work with him at all.
