David Harbour may not be returning as Hellboy but we might just see him back as Santa Claus in the neat future.
In a new interview, the Stranger Things and Creature Commandos star was asked if we might get a sequel to 2022’s unlikely violent festive hit, Violent Night, in which Santa Claus/Kris Kringle, played by Harbour, goes full John Wick.
It’s a fun watch for sure and sits nicely in the pantheon of adult Christmas movies and it seems that we might be getting a sequel.

In January last year, director Tommy Wirkola said that a sequel was coming but was derailed somewhat by the writers’ and then actors’ strikes but it seems there is a desire out there for a more on this version of Santa and Harbout isn’t only aware of that but is actively trying to make it happen.
The star says: “Keep your eyes peeled because I also love that movie, and I think that Universal was excited about that idea [of a sequel] as well. So we’re working a little bit.
“I do think there’s some very talented people working on it, so yeah, I’m excited about.”
Thoughts on this one, guys? Would you be excited to see Harbour’s Santa return for more ass-kicking? Let me know your thoughts, I know you have them…

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
