Hot Wheels Movie Gets Its Director and Full Creative Team

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we cover the long-awaited update on the Hot Wheels live-action movie. After years of silence, Mattel and Warner Bros have finally revealed that Jon M. Chu (Wicked, Crazy Rich Asians) will direct the film. We break down what this means for the project, who's involved creatively, and why this might not be the Fast & Furious knockoff you expect. With a serious creative team and Mattel’s recent hot streak, this might be the next big toy-to-film win.
