Danny Glover Is Santa Claus in Teaser Trailer for Disney+ Christmas Movie THE NAUGHTY NINE
Disney has released a new teaser trailer for their upcoming original Christmas movie, The Naughty Nine, starring Danny Glover in the role of the big man himself, Santa Claus. The movie, which will be released on the Disney channel as well as Disney+, tells the story of “mischievous fifth grader Andy (Winslow Fegley), [who] finds himself without a present from Santa on Christmas morning. Realizing he must have landed on the “naughty list” and feeling unfairly maligned, Andy pulls together a team of eight other naughty listers to help him execute an elaborate heist in Santa’s Village at the North Pole to get the presents they feel they deserve. Along the way, the group comes to realize that the very best way off the naughty list is to redirect their unique talents for good ― instead of mischief.”
The movie’s ensemble includes Fegley (8-Bit Christmas) as Andy; Camila Rodriguez as Dulce, Andy’s best friend and archery expert; Anthony Joo (New Amsterdam) as North Pole conspiracy theorist Lewis; Imogen Cohen (The Fairly Oddparents) as daredevil getaway driver Ha-Yoon; Clara Stack (Hawkeye) as animal whisperer Rose; Deric McCabe (A Wrinkle in Time) as master-of-disguise Jon Anthony; Ayden Elijah as adorable charmer Albert; and Madilyn Kellam (Afterwalker) as Andy’s older sister, Laurel, a skilled gymnast seeking to regain her confidence. Derek Theler (Baby Daddy) is Bruno, a disgruntled cargo pilot who claims to have seen Santa aloft in his sleigh.
The film is directed by Alberto Belli (House of Flowers), and Suzanne Todd (Noelle) is an executive producer. The script was written by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas (Raven’s Home), who also serve as executive producers.
This looks like it’s going to be a fun new holiday movie for families to enjoy! The Naughty Nine will debut November 22nd at 8 p.m. ET on the Disney Channel and Thanksgiving Day on Disney+. Check out the trailer below:
