Arnold Schwarzenegger Sets First Major Film Role Since 2019 With The Man With the Bag

The holiday project still lacks a confirmed release date following a 2024 production tease.

Overview

  • IMDb lists Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus opposite Alan Ritchson in a festive caper written by Allan Rice and directed by Adam Shankman.
  • The film was previously associated with Prime Video via Amazon MGM Studios, though no distribution timing has been announced.
  • Schwarzenegger told followers in December 2024 that he was filming in New York City, prompting renewed interest in recent days.
  • Fans revisiting his post asked where the movie is and noted the absence of advertising or release details.
  • It would be his first Christmas film since 1996 and his first prominent screen role since 2019, as coverage also cites Forbes’s estimate of his $1.2 billion net worth.
