Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has debuted a striking new look featuring long, wavy gray hair and his trademark white beard in the official trailer for the upcoming Amazon Prime Video Christmas film, “The Man with the Bag,“ per parade.com.
The 79-year-old actor stars as Santa Claus in the holiday comedy, which centres on a heist plot after Santa’s iconic red bag is stolen by a rogue elf. To retrieve it, Santa recruits a thief from his naughty list who assembles a crew of misfits to pull off the recovery operation.
Directed by Adam Shankman, the film also features an ensemble cast including Alan Ritchson, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong and Jane Krakowski. The Man with the Bag is scheduled for release on Prime Video on December 2.
The release marks a holiday return for Schwarzenegger three decades after his starring role in the 1996 Christmas classic Jingle All the Way, which featured Sinbad and Phil Hartman.
