Dwayne Johnson has previewed his "wild" festive blockbuster Red One ahead of its theatrical release next month.
Also starring Deadpool & Wolverine's Chris Evans, Spider-Man's J.K. Simmons and Kill Bill actor Lucy Liu, the big-budget adventure is directed by Jake Kasdan, who previously collaborated with Johnson on Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and its sequel The Next Level.
Uploading a brand-new teaser trailer onto Instagram this week, the actor known as "The Rock" in the wrestling world teased a Christmas flick like no other.

Red One is due to hit the big screen on November 15.
...
The 52-year-old captioned it: "We're ONE MONTH away from our @redonemov. It's a wild and fun one where the book of Christmas Lore becomes reality. In theaters worldwide on November 15th. Enjoy the movie, my friends and as Santa says... 'let's go heavy.'"
In the footage, we see Liu's character Zoe Harlow alerting Evans' bounty hunter Jack O'Malley that St. Nick (a muscly Simmons) has been abducted. He must team up with Johnson's head of North Pole security, Callum Drift, to track down the villain responsible before the holidays are ruined.
Just like in His Dark Materials, the protagonists will rub shoulders with anthropomorphic polar bears while battling demonic abominable snowmen. Game of Thrones favorite Kristofer Hivju raises hell as the Krampus, too.
In other news surrounding Johnson, the megastar made a shock return to the ring earlier this month for WWE Bad Blood 2024, which pitted rivals Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. The latter pair ultimately came up short, yet Rhodes and Reigns' celebrations were interrupted by The Rock's music as the hulking menace walked over to the stage wearing sunglasses.
Quiet and razor-focused on the pair, Johnson held his personal championship belt aloft, counting three fingers and then drawing a thumb across his throat.
Since the epic moment, WrestleVotes suggested in a live Q&A that Johnson may now headline WrestleMania 2025.
"My thought is it signifies that's where we're going for WrestleMania. 1-2-3 as in Triple Threat match. Yeah, I can tell you that's on the table. I don't know for sure if it's been finalized in any way. I doubt it's been finalized, but that idea has been floated and I think it makes the most sense for the company to get those three guys in the ring," shared WrestleVotes.
During his iconic tenure in the business, The Rock took home multiple WWE titles, including the WWE Championship on eight occasions; the WCW Championship twice; two WWF Intercontinental Championships, and the WWF Tag Team Championship five times.
