Arnold Schwarzenegger to star as Santa in Prime Video heist comedy
Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to star as Santa Claus in the upcoming Prime Video action-comedy “The Man with the Bag.” The film marks the actor’s return to the holiday genre for the first time in 30 years, following his 1996 film “Jingle All the Way.”
Directed by Adam Shankman and written by Allan Rice, the story follows Santa Claus after his iconic magical bag is stolen by a rogue elf, played by Awkwafina. To recover the bag and save Christmas, Santa recruits Vance, a thief from his “Naughty List” played by Alan Ritchson. Vance assembles a crew of misfits to pull off an unexpected heist.
The ensemble cast includes Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Jane Krakowski, Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney, and Berkeley James. The film is scheduled for a global release on Prime Video on December 2, 2026.
