David Harbour is donning the Santa suit again in Violent Night 2. Tommy Wirkola directs this sequel to his action comedy, with Kristen Bell as Mrs. Claus and Daniela Melchior also in the cast.
Santa Claus has lost his powers and works in a shopping mall. When a criminal organization targets the building, he must protect everyone inside. The holiday decorations become props in a new series of clashes.
In an interview about the trailer, Tommy Wirkola and producer Kelly McCormick explain that they chose the shopping mall to expand the character’s world. With his powers gone, David Harbour must face his adversaries this time without the help of his magic.
Jared Harris and Joe Pantoliano are also part of the cast. The first Violent Night had already pitted Santa Claus against mercenaries during a hostage-taking at a family’s home.
