Red OneDwayne Johnson and Chris Evans team up to save a kidnapped (and ripped) Santa Claus in the trailer for
Published on December 01, 2025 EDT Santa Claus' bodyguard is coming to town.

The days of Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye doing the old soft shoe to save the Columbia Inn are long gone.

In their stead, we've got Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans kicking ass and taking names (and checking them twice) to save none other than a not-so-jolly Old St. Nick (J.K. Simmons, who has never played jolly in his life).

Johnson is the North Pole's Head of Security and when Santa, a.k.a. Red One, is kidnapped under his watch, he has to employ the help of the world's greatest bounty hunter (Evans). This hunter, however, is kind of a Grinch — he literally steals candy from a baby and is a Level 4 Naughty-Lister.

The unlikely duo span the globe in search of Red One, and along the way they encounter Krampus, some creepy jacked Snowmen, Lucy Liu with bangs, and — something tells us — the spirit of Christmas.

Directed by Jake Kasdan (Jumanji: The Next Level) and written by Chris Morgan (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) from a story by Hiram Garcia (Young Rock), Red One also stars Bonnie Hunt, Kiernan Shipka, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, and Wesley Kimmel.

Amazon MGM Studios is stuffing this holiday treat down your chimney and into theaters on Nov. 15. Check out the trailer above.
