Alan Ritchson said in late July 2026 on the Armchair Expert podcast that he’s acquired the rights to a MotoGP movie project, and he seems to be aiming big with it: a Fast & Furious-style international action franchise built around premier-class motorcycle road racing. But at this point, the project exists in public because of Ritchson’s podcast comments, not because a studio has formally announced it. There’s still no public title, no confirmed writer or director, no cast beyond Ritchson’s apparent involvement, no release date, and no follow-up from a studio, production company, or MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports.
That’s still where things stand. Right now, all anyone has is what Alan Ritchson said on the podcast, not a studio press release. There’s still no public title, no confirmed writer or director, no cast beyond Ritchson’s apparent involvement, no release date, and no follow-up from a studio, production company, or from Dorna Sports, which holds the MotoGP rights.
Ritchson also said on Armchair Expert that he’s been riding and training on different motorcycles so he can handle his own stunts. He connected that prep to the dispute with a neighbor that was widely reported in March 2026, saying bodycam footage backed up his self-defense claim and that no charges were filed.
The audience argument for a franchise is real, if that’s how you want to judge the idea. MotoGP said it reached 632 million viewers in 2025, a 12% jump from the year before. More than half its fans are under 35. Race-weekend attendance hit a record 3.6 million. And the broader motorcycle market is worth more than $75 billion.
If racing franchises are your thing, this one is at least something to keep an eye on. Just treat it like what it is right now: a project in very early development, at least until official partners actually sign on.
And there’s nothing to watch yet. For now, all you have is Alan Ritchson’s announcement, plus the assumption that if this moves forward, it would be released as a theatrical film project.
