The new trailer for Red One has just dropped, revealing Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans teaming up to save Santa—using Christmas tech! In this holiday action-comedy, Johnson plays Callum Drift, head of North Pole security, who enlists bounty hunter Jack O’Malley (Evans) to help rescue Santa (played by J.K. Simmons) after he’s mysteriously kidnapped.
The trailer kicks off with Jack being captured by Zoe (Lucy Liu) and forced to work with Callum. Together, they dive into a high-tech mission filled with wild Christmas gadgets, including turning toy cars into real ones, to locate Santa. But things get even stranger as Halloween creatures—like flaming pumpkins, a horse, and Krampus—make an appearance, hinting at a crossover between holidays.
With Red One directed by Jake Kasdan, known for his hit Jumanji movies, there’s strong potential for success. However, Dwayne Johnson’s recent box office track record has been mixed, with Black Adam underperforming but Red Notice remaining Netflix’s most popular movie ever.
Christmas Meets Halloween in a Wild Holiday Mashup!
With fast-paced action scenes and a unique holiday mashup, Red One is shaping up to be more than just your typical Christmas movie. Santa’s capture may be tied to a larger threat, potentially connected to Halloween, adding a fun twist to this holiday adventure.
Amazon’s Big Bet for the Holiday Season
Red One, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, is part of Amazon’s massive holiday release lineup. With a reported budget of $250 million, the film is packed with CGI-heavy action and promises to deliver a thrilling festive ride. Amazon is banking on Red One to be a major success and draw in viewers with its fresh take on holiday movies. Fans can catch this epic holiday rescue mission on Amazon Prime Video when Red One drops later this year. Don’t miss the festive action!
