Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in 'Red One.' Karen Neal/Prime
In a new trailer for Red One, Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) has been abducted and it’s up to an unlikely team made up of reluctant bounty hunter Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans) and North Pole’s Head of Security Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson) to bring St. Nicholas back to save Christmas. The Amazon MGM Studios film arrives in theaters on Nov. 15
The new trailer opens on O’Malley himself being kidnapped. Though he realizes what’s happening and fends off those trying to abduct him, he’s eventually captured and is brought to the North Pole, where Lucy Lui’s Zoe character explains the dire situation: Santa Claus, whose code name is “Red One,” has been kidnapped.
“You’re the best tracker in the world, you’re going to help us find him,” Zoe tells O’Malley. While O’Malley insists he works alone, Drift lets him know that the rescue will be a team effort, which includes a large, talking polar bear named Garcia. The team battle “extremely dangerous” abductors, that appear to include some evil snowmen and devilish horned-and-tailed creepy creatures.
The trailer hints at some hidden portal stations found in toy store supply closets and various toy transformations, including a toy Hot Wheels car being turned into the full-sized real deal, alongside plenty of action injected into the Christmas magic.
The Jake Kasdan-directed film reunites the filmmaker with Johnson; they previously collaborated on the third and fourth installments of the Jumanji franchise. Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, and Wesley Kimmel round out the cast.
