As a lifelong fan of Matchbox toys and a connoisseur of Sam Richardson‘s exceptional acting skills, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming live-action film adaptation! The news that John Cena and Jessica Biel will lead the cast is just icing on the cake. And when you add Sam Hargrave at the helm, directing Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction movies no less, it’s clear this project is in good hands.
Emmy-winning actor Sam Richardson, best known for his role in Ted Lasso, has been selected to join the cast of the upcoming live-action film based on Mattel Films’ Matchbox toy line, which is inspired by its own real-world die-cast car toys. At this time, specifics about his character are being kept confidential. Apart from Matchbox, Richardson is also slated to appear in several other projects, such as the adventure comedy Sacrifice with Anya Taylor-Joy and the comedy film Let’s Have Kids! alongside Karen Gillan.
Who will lead the Matchbox cast?
The upcoming film adaptation of Matchbox, a brand known for miniature vehicles, will star John Cena from Peacemaker and Jessica Biel from Candy. This movie is set to be directed by Sam Hargrave, who’s famous for overseeing the Extraction films featuring Chris Hemsworth. The original concept of Matchbox was developed by automotive expert Jack Odell in 1953 for Lesney Products. Later, in 1997, Mattel officially took over the toy brand. The script for this film is co-written by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan) and Jonathan Tropper (The Adam Project). The production companies involved include Apple Original Films, Skydance, and Mattel Films. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, and Robbie Brenner are the producers for this project.
matchbox toys have held significant cultural importance for about 70 years, sparking creativity in children by allowing them to blend their real-world observations with their dreams. As Brenner stated when the project was initially announced in 2022, “We are excited to collaborate with Skydance Media to create a movie that captures the imaginative essence of this cherished Mattel brand and appeals to fans of all ages.
