Violent Night’s David Harbor has the perfect Mrs. Claus dream cast for a possible sequel
This weekend, violent night will introduce another offbeat take on Santa Claus to the world. That new movie release sees David helping Harbor transform the funny man with a bag of toys into a warrior to be reckoned with. Ultimately, the results are fun and gory, and fit surprisingly well with the Christmas spirit. And should the film succeed and spawn a potential sequel, Harbor already has the perfect Mrs. Claus in mind to join him in battle.
At the press day for the Universal Action comedy, the theme of Santa’s wife came up because the film references the character. Although never seen, the audience is informed that she does exist in this world, and things between her and her spouse are a bit rocky from what viewers can gather. Details like this could make for an interesting sequel, as whoever gets the role would ideally be at odds with David Harbor while also supporting him locally. With that in mind, Harbor CinemaBlend introduced its dream Mrs. Claus as follows:
I mean it’s an action movie. Is The Rock available we think? A little curly wig or something. No, this is a joke. My dream would be… because it’s an action movie, right? and [David] Leitch did Atomic Blonde with her, she was so good at the choreography. My dream, she never will, but my dream would be Charlize Theron. I feel like she’s such a badass, I remember she was so amazing in those fight scenes. That would be my dream casting, but whoever plays it, when it happens, it’s going to be wonderful. It’s so weird to ask me because I think it will be played in 10 years and people will be mad at me. But she would be my dream.
Hearing David Harbor suggest Charlize Theron as the Mrs. Claus of this film’s universe makes sense the more you repeat it. Her role as Lorraine Broughton in Atomic Blonde works absurdly well to make this type of business a reality. The most obvious reason for this is the fact that Theron’s role in this other adrenaline-pumping action/adventure flick already primed her to take on the kind of action that fans have seen the violent night follower.
More importantly, the fact that both films are part of the 87North Productions stable could help make the Santa Claus actor’s Christmas wish come true. David Leitch’s respective roles as director and producer in these films might make this type of question very easy since Charlize Theron is already part of the family.
It should be mentioned that violent nights There was talk of a hypothetical sequel, with Mrs. Claus feeding into those discussions. I learned so much when I asked director Tommy Wirkola who he would like to see in the role. His reply was a little tighter-lipped, but here’s what Wirkola did did Tell me about this mesmerizing view:
Honestly, we definitely want to see Mrs. Claus if we’re lucky enough to make a sequel. Casting-wise, I don’t know if I can say anything. There has been some talk, but I don’t want to spoil it. It would be a nice surprise if we ever get there.
Sequel casting is an exciting topic of discussion, especially with critical reactions violent night Tendency to the positive side. Of course, the film has to make an appearance before serious talks begin, and that’s part of what makes following this film’s weekend debut so enjoyable.
As for Charlize Theron’s schedule, she’s pretty busy herself. Theron’s recent MCU debut above Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness could keep her hooked for some time if Marvel Studios history is any indicator. Not to mention the production The Old Guard 2 and the potential for one Atomic Blonde 2 are still on the table.
All theoretical offers would depend on how fast violent night 2 would go into production. Tommy Wirkola might have hit something with his enigmatic answer, because if Charlize Theron isn’t cast as Mrs. Claus, it’s going to be hard to imagine anyone else taking on the role. Well, unless The Rock is willing to present themselves to David Harbor as more than just a joke.
For now, you can enjoy Santa Claus giving the bad guys their lumps, coals and other things violent night. The movie will slide down a chimney at your local theater on December 2nd and could prove to be one of the best action movies in a long time. It’s going to take some time, but you’ll be able to jump into the ground floor of this discussion very soon.
