“Christmas was saved once. Now winter is declaring war.”
The holiday season is about to get a whole lot colder.
Following the success of the 2023 blockbuster Red One, Amazon MGM Studios returns with a bigger, darker, and wildly ambitious sequel: Red One 2 – Rise of the Frost King. Packed with high-stakes fantasy, explosive action, and icy mythology, this holiday epic reunites the world’s favorite Christmas saviors—and pits them against a villain older than Santa himself.
🌎 Plot: The North Star Fades. Winter Rises.
After Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson) and Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans) saved Santa and Christmas, peace finally returned to the North Pole.
But deep beneath the frozen wilderness of Siberia, something ancient awakens.
The Frost King (Dave Bautista)—father of Krampus and once ruler of winter—has broken free from his Ice Tomb. With vengeance in his heart, he steals the North Star Crystal, the source of Christmas magic. Around the world, lights flicker out, reindeer can’t fly, and the Northern Lights vanish.
To stop an endless winter, Drift and O’Malley must team up once again—but this time, their mission is far more dangerous.
Their only hope?
Seraphina Frost (Lucy Liu)—the Frost King’s estranged daughter, a warrior torn between bloodline and justice.
