First Look: Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans star in ‘Purple One’
What occurs when Santa Claus is kidnapped? Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans take it upon themselves to avoid wasting Christmas, after all!
The plot for Purple One is so simple as it’s enjoyable, when Santa Claus (code identify: Purple One) is kidnapped, the North Pole’s Head of Safety; The Rock, joins forces with the world’s most notorious bounty hunter performed by Chris Evans. What follows subsequent is a globe-trotting, action-packed Christmas caper of a mission to search out St Nick. The movie, starring J.Okay Simmons as Father Christmas himself, boasts an all-star forged together with Lucy Liu and Kiernan Shipka. It was written by Chris Morgan, (with a number of Quick and Livid films underneath his belt), and directed by Jacob Kasdan (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Subsequent Stage). And, studio bosses are hoping that this might be the primary film to kick off a Purple One franchise. Ever wished to search out out what a ‘Stage 4 Naughty Lister’ is? Now’s your probability!
The trailer, receiving greater than 3 million hits in it’s first 24 hours has actually caught the creativeness of YouTube. “I by no means thought I’d see Captain America and Black Adam group up in a film,” wrote one consumer. “A fantasy-action Christmas flick with a jacked Santa, certain why not,” joked one other. “Dwayne and Chris collectively! Thanks, Amazon!” wrote one more. With Johnson apparently selecting up a cool $50 million for his involvement within the mission, Christmas might have come early for the ‘nice one’ himself. Let’s simply hope Purple One is a present and never a dud.
When is Purple One set to be launched?
The film, delayed from an preliminary Christmas 2023 launch, is scheduled to hit theatres through Amazon MGM Studios November 15, 2024.
