Max Steel is a 2016 superhero film based on the eponymous action-figure line by Mattel, which co-produced it with Dolphin Films and Ingenious Media. Open Road Films released the film theatrically on October 14, 2016 in the United States while IM Global handled international sales.

Production

An early attempt to create a Max Steel film occurred in December 2009 when Paramount Pictures purchased the film rights to the franchise. Taylor Lautner was an early choice for the starring role, although he later dropped out due to commitment to the Stretch Armstrong film. In January 2013, production was suspended when Max Steel was developed into a television series of the same name, airing later that year.

In February 2014, Ben Winchell and Ana Villafañe were cast as Max McGrath and Sofia Martinez, respectively. That same month, the press officially confirmed Andy García's casting as Dr. Miles Edwards. In May 2014, Maria Bello and Mike Doyle joined the cast as Molly and Jim McGrath, Max's parents.

Principal photography commenced on April 29, 2014, in Wilmington, North Carolina and ended on May 31, 2014.
