The Man with the Bag – TRAILER

Arnie’s back! Not as a time travelling killer cyborg but as Santa in the first trailer for ‘The Man with the Bag’  and is a return to the Christmas genre after 30 years (his first was Jingle al the way) taking on the role of Santa Claus himself! This will be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first movie released since 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate.

When Santa’s (Schwarzenegger) iconic red bag is stolen by a rogue elf with a grudge (Awkwafina), Christmas is suddenly at risk. With his biggest night of the year fast-approaching, Santa recruits a thief (Ritchson) from his ‘Naughty List’ who quickly assembles a crew of criminally skilled misfits — with a little help from elves and reindeer — to pull off the most unexpected heist of their lives.

Packed with holiday magic, big laughs, and plenty of heart, THE MAN WITH THE BAG is a holiday heist adventure about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that sometimes even Santa needs a little help delivering Christmas.

Director Adam Shankman delivers a fresh, action-packed spin on holiday entertainment, combining a high-stakes heist with the heart, humour and festive spirit of Christmas. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Ritchson, Berkeley James, Michael Cyril Creighton, Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney, Jane Krakowski, with Ken Jeong and Awkwafina. Adam Shankman directed the film from a script penned by Allan Rice.
