Chris Evans will feature with Dwayne Johnson in an upcoming Amazon Studios Christmas event film.
Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson new movie – Red One
The picture, presently named Red One, is set to begin filming this year. It’s a four-quadrant, globe-trotting action-adventure comedy that imagines a whole new world to explore inside the holiday genre. Details about the plot are being kept from the public.
The concept is based on an original narrative by Hiram Garcia, President of Production at Seven Bucks Productions, which Amazon Studios acquired following a fierce bidding war last year. Jake Kasdan (Jumanji franchise) is directing from a script by Chris Morgan, who has previously worked with Seven Bucks Productions on films including Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw, The Fate of the Furious, Furious 7, Fast & Furious 6, and Fast Five.
Kasdan is producing alongside Melvin Mar and co-producer Sky Salem Robinson through his production firm The Detective Agency, with Morgan for Chris Morgan Productions and Johnson, Hiram Garcia, and Dany Garcia for Seven Bucks.

In June, Johnson confirmed his involvement with the film, which is set for a Christmas release in 2023. It brings him back together with Kasdan and his Seven Bucks partners after their blockbuster success with Sony’s Jumanji flicks Welcome to the Jungle (2017) and The Next Level (2019), which have grossed a combined $1.7 billion worldwide. While both Johnson and Evans participated in Shawn Levy’s Disney comedy Free Guy in 2021, Red One is the first time the two will star in a picture together.
