Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to his first film since 2019 and is set to star in “The Man With the Bag,” an Amazon MGM holiday comedy directed by Adam Shankman and costarring Alan Ritchson.

Ritchson, who found his breakout leading role with the Amazon series “Reacher,” will play a former thief who is called upon by Santa Claus to retrieve his stolen magic bag holding all his toys. Amazon has not disclosed whether Schwarzenegger will be playing Santa or another role.

Shankman, whose directing credits include “Disenchanted” and the 2007 musical version of John Waters’ “Hairspray,” is directing from a screenplay by Allan Rice.
