Summer may be over, but the holiday season is already heating up with Red One, Netflix's highly anticipated Christmas action-comedy. Directed by Jumanji's Jake Kasdan, this festive film pairs two of Hollywood's biggest stars—Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson—in a wildly entertaining ride that blends holiday cheer with bone-crunching action. The newly released trailer and poster give us a taste of the craziness to come.

Red One follows the mission to save Christmas after Santa Claus, played by a jacked JK Simmons, is kidnapped. Johnson's character, the North Pole's Head of Security, teams up with Evans, portraying a notorious bounty hunter, to track down the missing Santa. What ensues is a globe-trotting, action-packed rescue filled with insane set pieces, from battling Krampus to racing Hot Wheels-sized cars.
The film's trailer promises outrageous fun with larger-than-life moments, like toy store portals and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em robots brawling in the background. While Red One might not become an instant holiday classic like It's A Wonderful Life, its self-aware, over-the-top energy and star power make it a unique entry into the Christmas movie genre.
Also starring Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, and Nick Kroll, Red One boasts an impressive ensemble. Written by Fast & Furious franchise veteran Chris Morgan, the film offers the perfect mix of action, comedy, and holiday magic. Slated for release in UK cinemas on November 6, Red One looks like a fun, high-octane ride that's sure to be a hit this festive season. Ready to add it to your holiday watchlist?
