Universal Pictures has released a teaser trailer for ‘Violent Night 2,’ bringing back David Harbour’s unconventional Santa Claus for another festive, action-packed adventure.
After saving a young girl and her family from a ruthless group of mercenaries in the first film, Harbour’s battle-worn Santa returns for another Christmas crisis. Directed once again by Tommy Wirkola, the sequel sees Saint Nick facing a dangerous new enemy after a vicious gangster, played by Jared Harris, begins terrorising the merchants of Silver Bell Mall.
However, this Santa isn’t arriving at full strength.
Having lost touch with the true spirit of Christmas, Santa discovers his magical powers are fading just when he needs them most. Stranded inside a bustling shopping mall filled with people depending on him, he’ll have to rediscover his faith in kindness while taking on an army of criminals without the full force of his legendary abilities.
Thankfully, help is on the way.
The teaser also offers the first glimpse of Kristen Bell as Mrs. Claus, who finally steps into the action after years behind the scenes. With Christmas hanging in the balance, she’s ready to prove she’s every bit as formidable as her husband.
Alongside David Harbour, Jared Harris and Kristen Bell, the impressive ensemble cast includes Joe Pantoliano, Daniela Melchior, Andrew Bachelor and AEW star Maxwell Friedman.
