Arnold Schwarzenegger recently surprised fans with a completely new look that left many talking. The actor, best known for his iconic role in The Terminator, was spotted in New York City sporting a white beard and festive attire. According to Entertainment Weekly, Schwarzenegger was filming an upcoming holiday movie in the city, which adds to the excitement for his fans.
In a social media post, Schwarzenegger shared a cheerful picture with actor Alan Ritchson, who is known for his role as Jack Reacher in the Reacher series. In the photo, Schwarzenegger smiles warmly while dressed in a red coat, festive scarf, and with his hands tucked in his pockets. Ritchson stands beside him in a long winter coat, a simple cap, and a white t-shirt, completing the cozy, wintery look. Schwarzenegger captioned the post with a playful note, saying, “Santa Claus is coming to town!” and revealed the name of his upcoming project, The Man with the Bag. He expressed that he’s having a “fantastic” time filming the movie with Ritchson, and praised the film’s director, Adam Shankman, calling him “one of the funniest directors I’ve worked with.” Schwarzenegger also shared how welcoming New York City has been during the filming and mentioned how much he’s looking forward to sharing the Christmas magic with his fans. He tagged Amazon Studios in his post, highlighting how much he’s enjoyed working with them.
While we don’t know when The Man with the Bag will be released, the movie is already generating interest, especially since it’s not Schwarzenegger’s first holiday film. Fans will remember his role in the 1996 Christmas classic Jingle All the Way.
Shankman, the director of The Man with the Bag, has an impressive resume, having worked on hit films like Hairspray and The Wedding Planner. With such a talented cast and crew, this holiday project is definitely one to look forward to when it finally hits screens.
