Arnold Schwarzenegger and Alan Ritchson are set to star in The Man with the Bag, an action comedy set during the Christmas season. Schwarzenegger, famous for his roles in the Terminator and Conan franchises, as well as his appearances in Sylvester Stallone's Expendables films, plays Santa Claus in the movie. His gift delivery is stolen, and he teams up with a professional thief, played by Ritchson, who is also known for his role in the series Reacher and the film War Machine, to retrieve his bag and resume his gift delivery.
This marks Schwarzenegger's return to year-end films, following his earlier role in The Running Man from the 1990s. In The Man with the Bag, Schwarzenegger includes nods to his iconic "I'll be back" line from the Terminator franchise, using a variation of it in each of his films. The film will be available starting December 2nd next year exclusively on Prime Video.
Schwarzenegger's recent project, Fubar, a Netflix series, was canceled after two seasons due to mediocre viewership and harsh criticism. The success of The Man with the Bag is seen as a chance to help Schwarzenegger overcome the negative reception of Fubar.
The film blends humor and action, with the premise of a high-stakes Christmas heist. It is expected to appeal to fans of both Schwarzenegger's action roles and holiday-themed movies. The movie's release on Prime Video suggests it is aimed at a broad audience, hoping to capitalize on the festive season and the popularity of its star.
