Naughty Or Nice? The first trailer for "Red One," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's upcoming Christmas action film, has just been released amidst a UK heatwave. This Amazon MGM Studios movie features Chris Evans as a bounty hunter tasked with rescuing Santa, played by J.K. Simmons, under Johnson's direction. The cast includes Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, and Wesley Kimmel. Directed by Jake Kasdan, this film promises a unique twist on the Christmas genre. However, it's important to note that reports have emerged about Johnson's on-set behavior, including tardiness and inappropriate actions.

Who stars in "Red One" and what is it about?

"Red One" stars Chris Evans as a bounty hunter tasked with rescuing Santa, played by J.K. Simmons, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Santa's right-hand man. The cast also includes Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, and Wesley Kimmel. The movie offers an action-packed twist on the traditional Christmas film.

"Red One" adds a fresh spin on the Christmas movie genre by blending action and festive elements. Directed by Jake Kasdan, who previously worked with Johnson on "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "Jumanji: The Next Level," the film aims to merge holiday cheer with high-octane thrills. Despite some criticisms about dialogue and performance, the star-studded cast and unique premise are likely to draw significant attention when it releases in November.
