There’s a good reason why Chris Evans is so popular on the internet. He has already established himself as a fall/holiday season staple (I’m referring, of course, to his wonderful sweater from the 2019 film Knives Out, which won over our hearts and minds), and now he’s getting ready to star in a new Christmas action movie that’s sure to be a hit with audiences. After all, how could it not be? We’re in for a treat since Evans co-stars with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a new movie called “Red One.” And now, thanks to a new Instagram photo, Evans has provided a glimpse of what goes on in the background.
In the picture, he can be seen in the leather jacket that has been the subject of much online speculation, as well as in a selfie with a chair with the Red One emblem, the meaning of which is unclear to those who do not have his future films stored to memory. Even though it’s only a photo of Evans, the internet went crazy the second he posted it, just as it does for everything else he does.
And at this point, we know very little about the film itself. But that’s the kind of influence Evans has. The film, directed by Jake Kasdan, is billed as a world-hopping action adventure comedy by Deadline, which feels like the direction Evans is heading. His most recent picture was The Gray Man, a Netflix original in which his character, Lloyd, travels the globe in pursuit of Ryan Gosling’s Sierra Six.
To be honest, we don’t know much about Red One just yet, but this Christmassy logo Evans is flashing has us all excited. This year has seen a resurgence in the popularity of action comedies set around the holiday season. It’s been a while since a Christmas-themed action film brought us holiday cheer, so it’s only fitting that audiences are gearing up to see Violent Night, which features Santa kicking ass. Evans is the perfect way to keep the action vibes continuing. Like with The Gray Man, I hope we see a photo of Dodger Evans (his dog) wearing a little leather jacket to help celebrate the movie’s premiere.
