Arnold Schwarzenegger's magical sack is gone

In an exciting update for action movie and holiday film enthusiasts, Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to return to the big screen with a holiday film titled "The Man With The Bag." Schwarzenegger, who has captivated audiences in iconic roles such as the Terminator, will be donning Santa's iconic red and white suit for the first time. This marks Arnold's first film role since his appearance in 2019's "Terminator: Dark Fate."

The film's premise revolves around Santa Claus's magic bag getting stolen. Santa then recruits Vance, a former thief on his naughty list—potentially played by "Reacher" star Alan Ritchson—to retrieve the stolen bag. The story follows the duo, alongside Santa's daughter and a quirky band of elves, as they undertake the mission to save Christmas. "The Man With The Bag," which is yet to have a confirmed release date, could possibly be a 2025 holiday release and will be directed by Adam Shankman, with a script by Allan Rice.

For fans keen on holiday cheer and heist shenanigans, Schwarzenegger's latest venture promises a fusion of excitement and festive spirit. With the actor's last Christmas-themed film being the 1996's "Jingle All The Way," his return to the holiday genre is highly anticipated. The production of "The Man With The Bag" is expected to begin later in the year.

While the exact release date for "The Man With The Bag" has not been confirmed, the movie is potentially slated for a 2025 holiday season release as production is expected to commence later in the year.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, known for his diverse roles in cinema, from the "Terminator" series to "Predator" and "Total Recall," has an illustrious career in action and sci-fi genres. However, "Jingle All The Way," his previous holiday film, showcased his versatility by tackling a family-friendly Christmas comedy. By stepping back into a festive role with "The Man With The Bag," Schwarzenegger will once again explore the lighter side of his acting prowess, likely drawing nostalgia from his fans who enjoyed his 90s Christmas hit.
