Santa’s on the naughty list this year, but the brand new Violent Night 2 trailer brings good tidings: Mrs. Claus is here to slay the day.
Violent Night 2 releases in theaters on December 4.
David Harbour reprises his role as Santa Claus, but this time he’s joined by Kristen Bell as Mrs. Claus.
In the sequel, “Now, not-so-jolly Saint Nick suits up again to take on a ruthless gangster (Jared Harris) terrorizing the merchants of the Silver Bell Mall. But when Santa forgets the true meaning of Christmas, he finds himself in the heart of a lively mall community in desperate need of his help.
“Sapped of his magic, he’ll need another way to take on the goons threatening the mall, and time is running out. Santa has to rediscover his faith in goodness and call in some last-minute reinforcements from the one person no baddie wants to tangle with: Mrs. Claus.”
Mrs. Claus is swinging swords and sledgehammers in the trailer below.
The cast also includes Daniela Melchior, Joe Pantoliano, Andrew “King Bach” Bachelor, and pro wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
Tommy Wirkola (Thrash, Dead Snow) is back in the director’s chair, reuniting with Violent Night writers Pat Casey & Josh Miller (Sonic the Hedgehog).
“There’s stuff we left on the floor like the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, the elves,” Wirkola noted last year. “But story-wise, I think we have a really, really cool idea that expands on the world and scope but still keeping that tone that we love from the first one.”
Violent Night 2 is produced by 87North founders Kelly McCormick & David Leitch (Bullet Train, Nobody) through their first-look deal with Universal.
The holiday sequel is rated R for “strong/bloody violence, and language.”
