Emile Hirsch Reflects on Speed Racer's Legacy Ahead of 4K Release | Interview

Speed Racer star Emile Hirsch spoke with ComingSoon's Tyler Treese in advance of the film coming out on 4K on May 19, 2026. Hirsch discussed the film's incredible staying power and the emotional connection it has with fans. The 4K release of Speed Racer will include new bonus content featuring the filmmakers reflecting on the making of the film and its legacy.

"Fearlessly hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition in his thundering Mach 5, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) was born to race cars. But when Speed turns down a lucrative offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret--some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls! The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family (John Goodman and Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon) and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival--the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)--to win the race that took his brother, Rex Racer's, life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible," says the official description.
