Deadline has reported that Matchbox the Movie is set for an October 9 premiere on Apple TV.
The cinematic take on the classic automobile toy line starring John Cena and Jessica Biel is described as:
An action-packed, globetrotting adventure about a group of friends since childhood who have their lives upended when undercover CIA agent Sean (Cena), their long-absent former leader, returns to their small town and unwittingly gets them embroiled in a frantic international pursuit to save the world.
Rounding out the leading cast for the film is Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris and Arturo Castro, with Sam Hargrave directing and taking on the role of executive producer for the project.
This marks the latest film project for Cena following the seventeen-time world champion’s retirement from in-ring competition in WWE.
