Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has yet another role in Hollywood lined up as he will star in the upcoming film "Red One” alongside Chris Evans.

The film

J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and Wesley Kimmel also star in the film.

The Rock, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia from Seven Bucks Productions, as well as Amazon MGM Studios, will produce the film while Chris Morgan will produce in addition to overseeing the script.

It’s directed by Jake Kasdan, who was with The Rock for “Jumanji,” and written by Chris Morgan, who worked with The Rock on the Fast and Furious spinoff movie, “Hobbs & Shaw.”

Johnson previously described it in an Instagram post by noting, “Our movie is a big, fun, action-packed, and fresh new take on Christmas. Think JUMANJI meets MIRACLE ON 34TH ST meets HOBBS & SHAW with a dash of HARRY POTTER and sprinkled on top with my all-time favorite Christmas movie, ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE…”

Release date

The movie will be filmed in 2022, with a planned 2023 holiday release before that was pushed back.

Deadline reported today that the film will get an exclusive global theatrical release on Nov. 15, 2024, before being added to Amazon Prime.
