Apple 2026 Slate: Now that the shop on the other side of the town, Netflix, has announced its huge plans for this year, tech and streaming giant Apple has released some plans of its own. Several new series and films are on their way for the audience, while some already existing shows are getting new seasons. The company is also tying up with Mattel Production, the media house behind the superhit Margot Robbie-Ryan Gosling film Barbie.
According to the official Mattel Corporate website, Matchbox will have John Cena and Jessica Biel in the lead roles. The film is being backed by Skydance, and it will be based on Mattel’s most recognisable product, die-cast metal toy cars. The original idea came in 1953 when Jack Odell decided to build a toy for his daughter which could fit inside of a matchbox. The teaser is yet to be released, which will clear up what the story is truly about.
Outcome
Including a stellar cast consisting of Jonah Hill, Keanu Reeves, Matt Bomer, and Cameron Diaz, it has been co-written by Ezra Woods and Hill himself. According to Variety, who attended the trailer launch for the same, the film has a ‘Jay Kelly’ vibe to it and explores the true meaning behind an apology and who it actually serves. Apple are bound to release a teaser or trailer soon.
