Lucy Liu has been cast in the upcoming Christmas comedy film, Red One, which also stars Dwayne Johnson, JK Simmons and Chris Evans.
The plot is based on a story by Hiram Garcia — the president of production of Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions, and the producer of Johnson vehicles Black Adam, Jungle Cruise, and Red Notice. Details have been kept tightly wrapped but the film is being described as a “big, fun, action-packed and fresh new take on Christmas.”
