As flown by Matt Damon’s Carroll Shelby (former USAAF enlisted pilot).

Nope. I believe it is a Beech 18.
The Electras had the horizontal stabilizer carry though the vertical tails in a rounded feature on the outside of those tails, while the Beech 18 tails do not have any such feature on the outside of the vertical tails. The nose is Beech 18 as well.
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie though....

Wait - so you are telling me that all polished aluminum, twin radial engined taildraggers aren’t Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra 10E? Whaaaat?

I wish it were so, but sadly, no
