Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson in Red One
Christmas action-comedy Red One looks set to be a financial and critical disappointment, but the movie may have been more successful had it been made 10 years ago. The film has received mostly negative reviews, and with an absurdly high budget, Red One seems like it will be unlikely to make its money back. These combined factors clearly put Red One on the back foot, but there's another, perhaps more surprising reason that the film's 2024 release was likely to always end in failure.
Dwayne Johnson & Chris Evans Were Better Positioned To Make Red One A Decade Ago Their Star-Power Combined Could've Potentially Turned Anything Into A Hit Close ✕ Remove Ads If it was released in 2014, a film like Red One could have potentially been the huge success thanks to the pull its two co-stars used to have.
The other big star is also unfortunately in the same boat, but to arguably an even worse degree. Chris Evans' MCU run ended with Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and since then, his career has mostly been a disappointment, with a great initial post-E ndgame role in Knives Out, followed by very little. Disappointments like Lightyear, The Gray Man, and Ghosted all demonstrate how he has struggled to find his feet after leaving Steve Rogers behind.
