Santa Claus will continue to confront the gang in "Cruel Night"
The original film received mixed reviews.
Released in early December last year, the action movie "Cruel Night" received rather restrained reviews from critics and viewers, although it collected a good box office.
However, after some hesitation, director Tommy Wirkola decided to shoot the sequel anyway.
The plot of the original picture tells about the heroic Santa Claus, who learned about the impending robbery of a rich family for Christmas, and decided to prevent it.
As a result, the fairy-tale character will have a deadly fight with a gang of inveterate mercenaries, in which no one will feel sorry for anyone.
The details of the sequel have not yet been disclosed, but, apparently, Santa Claus will continue the fight between good and scrap in the person of the same lead actor David Harbor, known for Black Widow and Stranger Things.
