“” “We do not see the North Pole, neither the Mother Christmas, nor the elves“He said.”There were also some ideas that we loved in the script, but we had to cut them for lack of financial means.»

However, it is still unknown what the second part will speak or if he will include Mother Christmas, precisely, briefly mentioned in the first opus. Universal plans to start production in September in Winnipeg.

Kelly McCormick and David Leitch of 87orth are back as producers, as are the writers Patrick Casey and Josh Miller.

Violent night was a great success, reporting more than $ 76 million at the world box office, against a budget of around 20 million dollars. Violent Night 2 will see the day on December 2, 2026 with us, a few days before Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 16, 2026, in which will also play David Harbor.
