Chris Evans teams up with Dwayne Johnson and a polar bear in Red One [bande-annonce]

Red Alert! Santa Claus played by JK Simmons has disappeared.

When Captain America and Black Adam meet up, it's not for a Marvel/DC cross-over, but rather a rescue mission to find little Santa Claus and avoid the crisis of all the children under the tree. In Red One, Chris Evans plays Jack O'Malley, a bounty hunter hired by Lucy Liu to save Santa Claus (JK Simmons), kidnapped by strange evil creatures at the North Pole. Fortunately for him, to support him, he will be able to count on a fantastic duo: the elf, not so elf after all, Dwayne Johnsonand a polar bear. The first trailer released last June was already completely crazy, and for the new one, that doesn't change: an action film that also wants to be a comedy, a film of strong arms and fights where we can drive a Hot Wheels car!

Behind the kidnappers of the end-of-year leader are in reality a whole range of mystical beings belonging to different folklores – whether they are from Halloween like the witch played by Kiernan Shipka (The New Adventures of Sabrina), or the headless horseman – or Christmas – like Krampus, the terrifying version of Santa Claus whose role is to punish bad children, appearing in the guise of Kristofer Hivju (Tormund in Game of Thrones).

For his first Christmas film, Dwayne Johnson blew up the production counters, which ended up costing more than 250 million. The cause? Unprofessional behavior…

Is Dwayne Johnson a diva? Red One's budget reportedly exploded due to repeated delays

The actor also finds with Red One the director, Jake Kasdanwhich is behind the remakes of Jumanji. It is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States on November 15. As for France, its distribution by Amazon Prime Video could lead it directly to the platforms. Its date has not yet been announced, but there is no doubt that it could compete with traditional Christmas soap operas.
