Little has been released about Red One’s plot so far, but there are certainly hints from producer Hiram Garcia.
In an interview with Deadline, Garcia teased a Christmas adventure:

What is obvious from the Instagram posts and media surrounding Red One is that it has an incredible cast. Teaser images show pictures of lead Dwayne Johnson in a red and black superhero-reminiscent costume, standing beside J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus. More press photos feature Johnson beside Chris Evans, co-starring in Red One after his fame as Marvel’s Captain America.
Bonnie Hunt is set to play Mrs. Claus, and while those are only the known roles, it is far from the end of the stars cast in this film. Kiernan Shipka from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Nick Kroll from Big Mouth, Lucy Liu of Charlie’s Angels fame, and Mary Elizabeth Ellis from New Girl are all set to appear in Red One.
Many of these actors have been nominated for or won Academy Awards! Seeing so much talent in the first film in the Red One series may certainly set it up for success and a franchise.
The crew behind Red One is just as talented. Writer Chris Morgan was brought on board to create the screenplay. Not to mention, director Jake Kasdan, producer and creator Kiram Garcia, and writer Chris Morgan have all worked with star Dwayne Johnson before in the Jumanji: The Next Level and the Fast and Furious films. With all three lead creators behind the film having worked on action-adventure franchises in the past, there is a lot of anticipation surrounding Red One as the next Christmas epic series. And with so many talented actors in Red One, we can’t wait to see what this action-adventure Christmas film has in store!
Everything Else We Know
In a video posted by Dwayne Johnson on his Instagram page, the actor shared a caption with details announcing Red One.
With little official information released about the film, Johnson’s Instagram posts sure give a lot of insight into the making of the film.
