Today, Apple TV revealed the first look at Matchbox The Movie, which gives us a look at the film’s all-star ensemble, including Cena, Jessica Biel, Teyonah Parris, Sam Richardson, and Arturo Castro. The other images feature Cena running through the streets with vehicles on either side, as well as an additional image that shows several vehicles, including a helicopter, racing down the highway (via THR). You can certainly see some of the Fast & Furious vibes right away, and Variety echoed that sentiment, describing the footage that was shown as a squeaky-clean take on the Fast & Furious franchise.
What Is The Matchbox Movie Actually About?
This will be Mattel’s second go at adapting their iconic franchises for the screen, and they certainly knocked it out of the park last time with the Barbie movie. In the case of Matchbox The Movie, Mattel describes it as “a globetrotting adventure” that focuses on a group of close childhood friends who are suddenly reunited with their former leader and friend Sean (Cena), who also happens to be an undercover CIA agent.
After he returns to the fold, he ends up getting them all mixed up in an international pursuit to save the world, and so this once tight-knit group then jumps into the deep end of espionage and epic car chases.
