For now, details of the movie and the role Kiernan Shipka, as well as Evans and Johnson will be playing, is kept under wraps. However, we do know that the project will be a globe-trotting, four-quadrant action-adventure comedy bringing a whole new side to the holiday genre. It was claimed by Amazon Studios in a competitive bidding war last year. The idea for this movie came from Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions’ President of Production Hiram Garcia.

The screenplay for Red One will be written by Chris Morgan, a frequent collaborator of Seven Bucks and Johnson. Morgan had been part of movies like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and ShawThe Fate of the FuriousFurious 7Fast & Furious 6 and Fast Five. Producers include Kasdan and Melvin Mar from The Detective Agency, Morgan under his own banner Chris Morgan Productions, along with Johnson, Garcia, and Dany Garcia via Seven Bucks Productions. The movie will be Kasdan and Johnson’s first reunion since 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level. The two Jumanji movies had a global collection of $1.7 billion, and with Evans and Johnson’s star power, Red One will also be bringing in big numbers.
