Traditionally, Hot Wheels are used on customizable orange racing tracks, so developing a story out of a race could be one possibility for Lin to explore.
Lin should have free reign to build a universe that revolves around these cars given the lack of human characters in the Hot Wheels “mythos.”
THR reports that Justin Lin will direct and produce a film adaption of the decades-old toy line.
Hot Wheels is currently in development and does not have a release date.
