Prime Video has released a brand-new trailer for ‘The Man with the Bag,’ a festive action-comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus, marking his return to the Christmas genre for the first time in 30 years.

The film sees Schwarzenegger take on the iconic role of Father Christmas, but this time, saving the festive season requires a little help from the naughty list.

When Santa’s magical bag is stolen, he turns to Vance (Alan Ritchson), a skilled thief whose name has landed him firmly on the naughty list, to help recover it. Joined by his daughter, Santa himself and an unlikely group of misfits, Vance must pull off the greatest heist of his life to save Christmas.

Alongside Schwarzenegger and Ritchson, the film features an ensemble cast including Berkeley James, Michael Cyril Creighton, Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney and Jane Krakowski, with Ken Jeong and Awkwafina also starring.

Adam Shankman (Hairspray, Disenchanted) directs from a screenplay written by Allan Rice.
