The action-adventure Christmas movie is currently set for the 2023 holiday season.
There may still be 11 more months until the next Christmas, but that didn’t stop Dwayne Johnson from showing off a new look at his upcoming Amazon Studios film Red One alongside his caroling partner, a jolly J.K. Simmons.
In the new image, shared by Johnson on his Instagram, Johnson and Simmons are seen walking together, in a pair of poses typical of the action genre. Simmons, who plays Santa Claus in the film, is decked out in appropriate garb. However, his Santa outfit looks a little more superhero-esque than the jolly man’s usual attire, with a leather overcoat and flak jacket-type shirt completing the costume. Plus, Simmons is no stranger to a Santa-style beard, having worn the look a number of times before. Johnson, meanwhile, looks cast-to-type in a leather outfit, complete with a red-and-black jacket and a pair of combat boots.
“Santa the rockstar,” Johnson captioned the post, referring to Simmons. “It’s an honor having his six. Another solid work week in the books on our Christmas movie, Red One. Academy Award winner and coolest dude in the North Pole, J.K. Simmons bringing Santa’s big ol’ beautiful heart to life.” Johnson ended the post by noting that there was still more work on the film to come.
