Violent Night 2 brings back the most unlikely action hero of the festive season as David Harbour returns as a battle-hardened Santa Claus with a surprisingly lethal skill set. The original Violent Night (2022) became a surprise Christmas hit, mixing festive cheer with outrageous action as Santa fought off a group of mercenaries during a violent home invasion. Directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow), the film earned a cult following thanks to its tongue-in-cheek humour, inventive action scenes and Harbour?s unforgettable performance as a grumpy, Viking-warrior-turned-Saint-Nick who isn?t afraid to swing a sledgehammer when the situation calls for it. The sequel once again sees Santa dragged into another deadly situation when criminals threaten to ruin Christmas for families around the world.

Behind the scenes the creative team from the first film reunites, with producers David Leitch and Kelly McCormick?the action specialists behind films like John Wick, Bullet Train and Nobody?helping craft another chaotic holiday adventure. The first film grossed over $75 million worldwide and quickly became a modern festive cult favourite thanks to its wild blend of Christmas movie nostalgia and brutal action comedy. Expect bigger set pieces, more outrageous villains and even more inventive festive carnage as Santa once again proves that delivering presents isn?t the only thing he?s good at. Equal parts Christmas movie and action spectacle, Violent Night 2 aims to become the next must-watch holiday tradition for fans who like their festive cheer with a little extra mayhem.
