Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans Shine at ‘Red One’ Berlin Premiere Amid Mixed Early Reviews
Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans recently attended the Berlin premiere of their highly anticipated Christmas action-comedy, ‘Red One‘, held at UCI Luxe Mercedes Platz on Sunday. The event also saw the presence of Kiernan Shipka, adding to the star-studded lineup.
Both actors made a stylish impression on the red carpet. Dwayne Johnson opted for a custom Dolce & Gabbana double-breasted wool coat in rich shades of plum and burgundy, paired with tailored trousers, a cozy turtleneck, and a knitted cardigan. This outfit not only looked sophisticated but was also practical for the chilly Berlin weather.
Chris Evans, on the other hand, embraced the turtleneck trend, styling a blue turtleneck beneath an olive green Ralph Lauren Collection suit. The addition of corduroy to the suit brought a unique texture, evoking memories of Ryan Reynolds‘ supply teacher style phase.
The film, ‘Red One’, has been long in the making due to delays caused by the COVID pandemic and the Hollywood strikes of 2023. It is now set to be released in cinemas on November 15, ahead of its debut on Prime Video. The movie follows an E.L.F. Task Force Commander (Johnson) and a bounty hunter (Evans) as they team up to save Christmas after Santa Claus is kidnapped.
Early reactions from critics have been mixed. While some praised the cast’s chemistry and the film’s action-packed mission, others found it “unfunny and visually repulsive” and criticized its inability to choose a clear audience). Despite these mixed reviews, Dwayne Johnson expressed his confidence in the film, stating that he and Chris Evans had good chemistry and that he was drawn to the project because of the strong script and his desire to make a quality Christmas movie).
