The brand-to-movie pipeline continues with Matchbox, the die cast toys best represented through slot racecars. We’ve known for a while that this movie was happening, and during its panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Apple showed off what’ll be gracing AppleTV later this year. Directed by Sam Hargrave of Extraction fame, the film stars John Cena as ex-soldier Sean, back home after his latest successful mission. What should’ve been a night reconnecting with old friends played by Jessica Biel, Teyonah Parris, Sam Richardson, and Arturo Castro takes a turn when they’re all kidnapped and framed for stealing a nuclear warhead. Now wanted by the law, the group’s got to clear their names one misadventure across the globe at a time. And you know what that means: pulling off stunt after stunt with cars, choppers and cycles reminiscent of the Matchbox toys they used to play with as kids. It’s a mix of vehicular carnage and comedy blended in such a way that’ll make you think it all came straight out of Fast & Furious. Also starring Corey Stoll, Golshifteh Farahani and Danai Gurira, look for Matchbox: The Movie to hit Apple TV on October 9. Want more io9 news? Check out the best movies and TV shows
