The Matchbox brand was born in 1953 and was created by Jack Odell, a car enthusiast who wanted to help his daughter. Her school only allowed toys that could fit in a matchbox, and that’s how the idea for miniature cars came about.
The success was immediate and, since then, the brand has conquered generations, maintaining its tradition of quality for more than 70 years. Today, two Matchbox cars are sold every second somewhere in the world.

Who else, besides John Cena, has been cast in the “Matchbox” film?
## Interview with Film Expert on “Matchbox”
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Today we’re joined by Alex Reed, a film expert, to discuss the exciting news surrounding Apple’s upcoming feature film “Matchbox.”
Alex Reed, thanks for being here.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me!
**Host:** Let’s dive right in. There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding this film. Can you tell us a bit about what we know so far?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely! It seems like everyone wants a piece of this action. We know it’s a live-action adaptation of the iconic Mattel toy line “Matchbox”, which has been a childhood staple for generations. Apple Original Films, Skydance, and Mattel Films are all teaming up for this project, so it’s definitely a high-profile production.
**Host:** It certainly sounds like it. And the cast is shaping up to be pretty impressive. We’ve heard names like John Cena, Jessica Biel ([1](https://deadline.com/2024/11/jessica-biel-john-cena-matchbox-movie-1236184490/)), and Sam Richardson attached to the project.
**Alex Reed:**
Yes! John Cena seems to be front and center, but the addition of Biel and Richardson, along with the recently announced Arturo Castro [[2]](https://deadline.com/2024/12/matchbox-arturo-castro-joins-apple-movie-starring-john-cena-1236195375/), is really exciting. These actors bring such diverse talent and experience.
It’s going to be interesting to see how their characters intertwine in this Matchbox world.
**Host**: The director, Sam Hargrave, who helmed the action-packed *Extraction*, is also on board. What does his involvement tell us about the tone and style of the film?
**Alex Reed:** Hargrave is known for his action expertise, so it’ll be fascinating to see how he translates that to a “Matchbox” narrative.
We don’t have plot details yet, but perhaps we can expect a high-octane adventure with car chases and thrills.
**Host:** That definitely sounds fun, and it aligns with the Matchbox brand’s adventurous spirit. Any predictions on when we might see this hit our screens?
**Alex Reed:** As of now, there’s no official release date.
Filming might still be underway, but hopefully, we’ll get a trailer and more details soon. The anticipation is definitely building!
**Host:** Absolutely. We can’t wait to see what this team brings to the table.
Alex Reed, thank you for sharing your insights.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure! I’m looking forward to seeing “Matchbox” myself!
