Vin Diesel to write and star in ‘Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots’ film

Washington, Dec 6 (UNI) Vin Diesel will not only headline but also co-write the upcoming ‘Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots’ movie for Mattel Studios, Variety reported.
Diesel will produce the project through his banner, One Race Films.
While plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to “bring the legendary Red Rocker and Blue Bomber to life in an all-new live-action adventure,” according to Variety.
Sharing his excitement, Diesel said he’s eager to reintroduce a childhood favorite to modern audiences, crafting a story that explores competition in a world defined by strength and dominance, while ultimately highlighting compassion at its core.
Robbie Brenner, President of Mattel Studios and Chief Content Officer, praised Diesel’s vision, calling him “a powerhouse storyteller” with a unique grasp of action, emotion, and world-building, qualities she believes will elevate the project.
The film will be overseen by Darian Greenbaum and Andrew Scannell for Mattel Studios, and by Diesel for One Race Films.
Following the massive success of Barbie, Mattel Studios continues to expand its cinematic universe. Upcoming projects include the live-action Masters of the Universe (2026) starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Jared Leto as Skeletor, as well as the Matchbox racing film featuring John Cena, Variety reported.
