Jessica Biel has spent much of her career showing a knack for transforming herself from role to role, taking on different kinds of projects and stepping into very different creative worlds. That flexibility has helped her stay interesting on screen, whether she is playing something grounded, glamorous, or action driven.

Now she is bringing that same willingness to try new things to Matchbox, where the physical demands sound as exciting as the movie itself.

Jessica Biel says one of the most exciting parts of working on Matchbox was learning a new skill behind the wheel. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she described the rush of performing practical driving moves for the toy inspired film, saying.

“When you're learning to 180 your car like an old amazing Mustang and like hit a mark with the end of the car. You feel so cool,” Bield said.

Her excitement reflects the growing ambition behind Mattel adaptations, especially after the success of Barbie. Biel explained to Entertainment Tonight that the experience gave her a rare chance to step outside her comfort zone, with the physical demands of stunt driving leaving a lasting impression. She also framed the role as part of the broader appeal of acting, where unexpected skills often become part of the journey.

For Biel, it was not just about speed or spectacle, but about the satisfaction of executing a precise move and getting it right on cue. That mix of adrenaline and confidence defines her experience on Matchbox. If that same energy translates to the screen, the film could deliver something far more dynamic than a standard nostalgia-driven adaptation.

While Biel is chasing speed on the big screen, another franchise story is finding new life in a very different space.

Masters of the Universe may have struggled at the box office, but it is now seeing a strong resurgence on streaming. After a disappointing theatrical run, the film has climbed to the top spot on Amazon Prime Video’s movie charts in the United States, suggesting audiences are finally giving it the attention it missed in cinemas.

Starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam and He Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Idris Elba, Jared Leto, and Alison Brie, the film follows Adam’s journey from Earth back to Eternia as he embraces his destiny and confronts Skeletor. Critical reception was mixed to positive, but audience response was warmer, which helps explain its streaming momentum.

With a box office total of about $113.5 million against a reported $170 million budget, its theatrical performance fell short of expectations. However, its success on streaming shows the story still resonates. For Masters of the Universe, the real power may not lie in theatres, but in its ability to find an audience over time.
