Chris Evans joins Dwayne Johnson in Christmas movie “Red One”
Chris Evans has signed up to star opposite Dwayne Johnson in his Christmas event film Red One.
According a Yahoo report, The Avengers star has joined the project, which has been described as a globe-trotting action-adventure comedy that imagines a whole new universe within the holiday genre.
The film is being directed by Jake Kasdan, who previously worked with Johnson on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel, from a script by Fast & Furious scribe Chris Morgan.
Johnson shared the casting news on Instagram and wrote in the caption, “When Captain America teams up with Black Adam to make a Christmas movie.”
Plot details are being kept under wraps but the Red Notice star teased what fans could expect – a combination of classic Christmas movies Miracle on 34th Street and It’s a Wonderful Life and his 2019 action movie Hobbs & Shaw.
“Think Miracle On 34th Street meets Hobbs & Shaw with a little bit of It’s a Wonderful Life sprinkled on top,” he wrote, followed by snowflake, Christmas tree, star, skull and winking face emojis. “I think we’re gonna make a great holiday movie for you and your families around the world to enjoy!”
