John Cena has signed on to star in Matchbox, a live-action take on the classic Mattel car toyline.

The 47-year-old actor is set to star in the upcoming live-action movie for Skydance, Apple Original Films and Mattel Films which is inspired by the toy brand's iconic vehicle line.

The project is coming in full throttle with a screenplay by David Coggeshall, who wrote action comedy The Family Plan for the streaming and tech giant, and Jonathan Tropper, the author and scribe who wrote the Ryan Reynolds action-adventure feature The Adam Project.

Cena, who previously worked with Mattel Films for a cameo as Mermaid Ken in the "Barbie" movie, is currently working on the second season of "Peacemaker" which will shortly wrap filming ahead of a 2025 debut.

He’s popped up in three films so far this year – "Argylle", "Ricky Stanicky" and "Jackpot!" along with a guest stint on "The Bear".
