Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Hiram Garcia at Seven Bucks Productions conceived the idea for the film,[3] which was developed into a screenplay by Chris Morgan for Jake Kasdan to direct.[4] Chris Evans joined the cast in January 2022.[5] In September, Kiernan Shipka was added to the cast.[6] Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel and Bonnie Hunt joined the cast the following month, with Ellis revealing her and Simmons' involvement on Instagram.[7][8][9][10] Dwayne Johnson was paid $50 million for his involvement.[11]

Filming began in October 2022 in Atlanta and wrapped in February 2023.[8][12]

Release[edit]

Red One was originally scheduled to be on Prime Video worldwide in time for Christmas 2023.[13] The release was delayed on December 20, 2023, until November 15, 2024, with the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike cited as the reason along with the film now getting a worldwide theatrical release.[14][15] Warner Bros. Pictures will handle the film's international release.[16]
