'I Had To Jump’: Why Chris Evans Turned Down A Movie To Join Dwayne Johnson In Christmas Film 'Red One'

Cinema Blend

The 2023 holiday season will be extra special this year with an exclusive treat for those with an Amazon Prime subscription—a front-row seat to the highly anticipated new Christmas movie, "Red One." Directed by Jake Kasdan and a script from Chris Morgan, this action-adventure extravaganza is a potential franchise starter and marks the first collaboration between Hollywood powerhouses Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans. During a recent appearance, the former "Captain America" performer explained why he was happy to turn down another movie to work with the WWE veteran on the Christmas action movie.  During a recent video from "The View," Evans shared why he happily passed up another movie opportunity to work alongside The Rock. The MCU alum explained his decision-making process, stating that such unique holiday opportunities don't come around often for him.
