Red One is an upcoming American action-adventure Christmas film, directed by Jake Kasdan, with a script written by Chris Morgan, from an original story by Hiram Garcia. The film stars Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in the lead roles, and features Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll and Kristofer Hivju in supporting roles. Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia, Kasdan, Melvin Mar, and Morgan serve as producers.

The project is seen as the first of a potential franchise, reimagining holiday mythology. The project will be a joint-venture production between Amazon MGM Studios, Seven Bucks Productions, The Detective Agency, and Chris Morgan Productions.[1][2]

Red One is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on November 15, 2024.

Cast

Production

Hiram Garcia at Seven Bucks Productions conceived the idea for the film,[3] which was developed into a screenplay by Chris Morgan for Jake Kasdan to direct.[4] Chris Evans joined the cast in January 2022.[5] In September, Kiernan Shipka was added to the cast.[6] Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel and Bonnie Hunt joined the cast the following month, with Ellis revealing her and Simmons' involvement on Instagram.[7][8][9][10] Dwayne Johnson was paid $50 million for his involvement.[11]

Filming began in October 2022 in Atlanta and wrapped in February 2023.[8][12]

Release

Red One was originally scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States in time for Christmas 2023.[13] The release was delayed on December 20, 2023, until November 15, 2024, with the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike cited as the reason.[14][15] Warner Bros. Pictures will handle the film's international release.[16]
