The Amazon Studios Christmas picture also stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Chris "Captain America" Evans, and Kiernan "**Roy**" Shipka.

Directing the film is **Jake Kasdan,** who previously collaborated with The Rock on the "Jumanji" films; the film is based on an original story by Seven Bucks President of Production Hiram Garcia.

**After a bidding war, Amazon won the rights to produce "Red One," and the film is scheduled for a 2023 holiday season release.**

We don^/t know much about the plot, but we do know that it^/s an action-adventure that takes place all around the world and introduces audiences to a brand new festive realm.  
Lucy, who will play the villain Kalypso in the next DCEU film "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," has said that she is excited to be a part of the DCEU since she has always been a fan of the superhero genre, but she never thought she^/d be able to participate in it because of her Chinese ancestry.

The ^/Elementary^/ starlet has stated her desire to participate in a superhero film, saying, "I am a great fan of comics and of that time, which is my youth.

To be able to contribute to the advancement of diversity, women^/s rights, and women^/s empowerment by being a part of something that seemed impossible at the time is truly a dream come true. It^/s not just a catchphrase; it^/s an actual phenomenon, and to be a part of it is an incredible privilege.

Liu also shared the details of her rise to fame as a prominent Asian American actor in the Hollywood industry.

According to her, "Is it interesting?" is the overarching question in any situation. Is there a lot of difficulty involved? And as those things accumulate, you begin to develop this framework and foundation, and other people may join, so that it evolves into a city, into a state or country, and into something of which we could all be a part.
