What is Red One?
Walt Disney Pictures
The shopping tie-ins are inevitable, so fingers crossed we can at least get our grubby paws on some Chris Evans patented sweaters. Thanks to a /Film interview with Garcia, we also know that “Red One” is not an opportunity for The Rock to don a fluffy white beard and put coal in our stockings. Save your muscular Santa dreams for the fan art (or go rewatch “Klaus”) because Dwayne Johnson’s role will be “something really awesome,” but it won’t be Santa Claus. In the same interview, Garcia said:
"This unique concept represents a property that could encompass not only a tentpole film but could reach beyond entertainment across multiple industries and businesses."
Someone should probably warn Chris Evans that he’s just gotten tied up in yet another cinematic universe. This one probably won’t span 26 movies though. Probably. Only time will tell how enormous this bizarre project will become but for now, “Red One” has no official release date ion the books and aims to start filming this year.
“It’s going to take holiday mythology and turn it on its head. Really, it’s hard to find another Christmas movie to even compare to it. I don’t think there’s ever been anything done like this in that space, which is always very appealing to us.”
