I would assume this was a joke if it wasn't from Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood...ceo-ynon-kreiz

Mattel already has 14 other films based on toys in various stages of development, including a Hot Wheels movie produced by J.J. Abrams, Lena Dunham’s take on the world of Polly Pocket, and a Tom Hanks–led vehicle about the obscure toy astronaut Major Matt Mason.

Apparently, some of the other properties they're working on movies for include the Magic 8 Ball, Uno, and View-Master. Oddly, one Mattel property that doesn't have a movie in development is Masters of the Universe.
