Arnold Schwarzenegger, the legendary action star, is bringing holiday cheer to the big screen in The Man with the Bag. Known for roles in The Terminator and Predator, he’s stepping into the red suit of Santa Claus. This marks his first holiday film in nearly 30 years. Here’s a glimpse of what fans can expect.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Transforms into Santa Claus
Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of The Man with the Bag, giving fans a first look at his transformation into the jolly old St. Nicholas. With a fluffy white beard and a festive red coat, Schwarzenegger is nearly unrecognizable in his new role. The image has sparked excitement among fans eager to see the action icon in a family-friendly, heartwarming role.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Joins an Epic Christmas Adventure
In The Man with the Bag, Santa’s magic bag is stolen, and he turns to Vance, a former thief, for help. Played by Alan Ritchson, Vance joins Santa and a group of misfit elves in an epic adventure to retrieve the stolen bag and save Christmas. Directed by Adam Shankman, this holiday comedy promises to be a fun-filled ride for audiences of all ages, with a release date set for 2025.
A Return to Christmas Movies
While this is Schwarzenegger’s first Christmas movie in nearly 30 years, it’s not his first foray into holiday films. In 1996, he starred in the classic Jingle All the Way, where he played a frantic father trying to get his son a sold-out action figure. Fans can expect a similar blend of humor and heart in his new role as Santa Claus.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Big Screen Comeback
The Man with the Bag will also mark Schwarzenegger’s first major film role since Terminator: Dark Fate in 2019. While he worked on Kung Fury 2, that project has yet to be released. As a result, fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the big screen, especially in a beloved holiday setting.
