The current King of Action TV, Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, teamed up with the king of action movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for an upcoming holiday movie that sounds like it could be a Christmas delight for fans. As it turns out, Ritchson also came away from the project with a personal gift of his own, as he got a lesson in appreciating fame and perspectives from the Hollywood icon.
In the upcoming 2026 release The Man with the Bag, Schwarzenegger’s take on Santa Claus has to seek out the help of a small-time crook, Ritchson’s character Vince, to aid in his mission to retrieve a stolen sack of presents. And when it drops in December, it’ll be his fourth starring role in a 2026 feature (after War Machine, Runner and Motor City), and it’ll arrive after both the fourth season of Reacher and the first season of Neagley, which he guest-stars in. Needless to say, he’s everywhere.
