Schwarzenegger stars alongside Reacher actor Alan Ritchson in the upcoming film. Ritchson plays a thief named Vance who helps get Santa’s magic bag back after it is stolen by a naughty elf.
The trailer finds Ritchson’s Vance approached by Santa while ice skating at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
“I’m looking for Kris. With a K,” Vance tells him.
Schwarzenegger’s Santa responds, “You found him,” with a smile.
Berkeley James, Michael Cyril Creighton, Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney, Jane Krakowski, Ken Jeong and Awkwafina also star in the film. Adam Shankman directed it from a script by Allan Rice. In addition to starring, Ritchson serves as a producer.
The Man with the Bag arrives to Prime Video on Dec. 2.
