As a film enthusiast with a heart for nostalgia and a keen eye for potential, I am intrigued by Mattel’s latest venture into the world of live-action adaptations – the upcoming Matchbox movie. Having grown up playing with these iconic miniature toy cars, the thought of seeing them come to life on the big screen is nothing short of exhilarating.
As an ardent fan, I can’t help but marvel at how John Cena, though seemingly elusive to the naked eye, continues to shine brightly in major movie franchises. This time around, he’s found a place in a unique live-action adaptation of a beloved toy line – none other than the Matchbox miniature toy car set. With Mattel, now riding high after the massive success of Barbie, diving headfirst into the movie scene with various IP projects, it’s no surprise that they’re gearing up for a film based on their iconic Matchbox toy cars. And guess who’s going to be a key player in this cinematic adventure? None other than John Cena himself! The movie, slated to be directed by one of the most accomplished modern action filmmakers, promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Mattel has revealed that John Cena will star in their upcoming “Matchbox” movie, inspired by the well-known toy series. Apple Original Films have purchased this high-profile production, with Sam Hargrave set to direct, known for his work on the action-packed “Extraction films” featuring Chris Hemsworth. The screenplay for “Matchbox” is penned by Jonathan Tropper, who has recently been tasked with writing Shawn Levy’s future “Star Wars” project following their collaboration on “The Adam Project”. While specific plot details are yet to be disclosed, Mattel has shared some background information about the Matchbox brand, which could potentially shape the movie’s storyline.
In 1953, Jack Odell, an automotive expert and enthusiast, created the renowned Matchbox toy brand. His inspiration came from a need to provide a toy for his daughter, who was only allowed to bring one to school if it could fit in a matchbox. When other children at school started asking for ‘matchbox cars’, the iconic Matchbox brand was born. For almost seven decades, the authenticity and quality of Matchbox die-cast cars have been the cornerstone of this brand, with one Matchbox car being sold every second.
A Match Made in Toy Heaven
As a “Hot Wheels” movie remains in active development with a “realistic and tough” tone, Mattel is moving forward with their most solid effort for a toy car project titled “Matchbox.” The acquisition of this title by Apple Original Films signals promising news for those eagerly waiting for a “Matchbox” film. Moreover, John Cena has been quite active in streaming platforms recently; he starred alongside Awkwafina and Simu Liu in Amazon’s “Jackpot!” and made an appearance on FX’s “The Bear,” which streams on Hulu. Apart from the upcoming “Matchbox,” Cena is also scheduled to reprise his role as Peacemaker in the second season of Max series, now set within James Gunn’s brand-new DCU.
Initially, it appears that Mattel is brainstorming various ideas and movie projects, hoping one will take off. Following the substantial financial and critical acclaim of Barbie, they see an opportunity to delve deeper into their toy collection. While some might view this as a money-making scheme, securing top-tier talent both in front of and behind the camera is a solid foundation.
