Danai Gurira is teaming up with John Cena for a new movie!
The 46-year-old Black Panther and The Walking Dead actress has signed on to star opposite the 47-year-old Peacemaker actor in Matchbox, Apple Original Films’ upcoming live-action movie based on the classic Mattel car toy line.
Directed by Sam Hargrave, the project is “described as an action-packed, globetrotting adventure that centers on a group of childhood friends who must work together to stop an impending worldwide disaster and rediscover their friendship along the way,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The cast also includes Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris, and Arturo Castro.
The movie is expected to begin this winter in several locations around the world, including Hungary and Slovakia.
Matchbox was first created in 1953 and was acquired by Mattel in 1997.
If you missed it, Danai addressed the possibility of a Black Panther spinoff series about her character.
