Universal Pictures is giving out early holiday presents at CinemaCon, unwrapping the very first trailer for Violent Night 2, which brings David Harbour back as Santa Claus and Tommy Wirkola to direct.
The big surprise is that the trailer revealed Kristen Bell (pictured below in Pulse) is playing none other than Mrs. Claus in the follow-up, being described as “Die Hard 2. Violent Harder,” where “Mrs. Claus shows up to help slay.”
In Violent Night, a team of elite mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage. But the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (Harbour) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.
John Leguizamo, Beverly D’Angelo (Christmas Vacation), Alex Haskell and Alexis Louder also starred in Violent Night, featured alongside Edi Patterson and Cam Gigandet.
87North and Universal will release Violent Night 2 in theaters December 4, 2026.
