āļøāļøāļøāļø (4/5)
The holidays just got a whole lot louder. Red One 2 (2026) is back with more action, more comedy, and even more festive chaosāproving that Christmas and explosions are a match made in blockbuster heaven. Directed once again by Jake Kasdan, this sequel amps up everything fans loved about the first film and gives Dwayne Johnson another chance to save the season with muscle and heart.
Dwayne āThe Rockā Johnson reprises his role as Callum Drift, the elite commander of the North Poleās top-secret holiday security force. But this time, the North Pole faces an even bigger threat: a rogue time-traveling villain determined to erase Christmas from history. With Santaās sleigh hacked and the holiday timeline fractured, Callum must team up with his unlikely partner Jack OāMalley (played by Chris Evans, returning with even more sarcasm and sleigh-jumping stunts).
The trailer teases outrageous set piecesāfrom a snowmobile chase through a frozen version of 1980s New York to a high-altitude battle above a collapsing candy-cane bridge. The holiday magic is bigger than ever, with new tech-powered elves, mythological winter creatures, and a new Santa played by Bryan Cranston, who brings both gravitas and dry humor to the role.
The heart of the movie still lies in its message of family, belief, and second chances. Amid the chaos and comedy, Johnson continues to balance brawn with warmth, giving Callum more depth as he reconnects with his estranged daughterānow an elite coder helping restore the timeline.
Red One 2 isnāt just a holiday filmāitās a festive action-comedy franchise in the making. Packed with laughs, heart, and sleigh-loads of style, this sequel delivers exactly what fans want: a wild ride thatās equal parts Mission: Impossible and Miracle on 34th Street.
Christmas was never this action-packedāand weāre here for it.
