Olivia Wilde is still riding high on the strong reviews and box office of her relationship comedy, The Invite, with buzz only building as we enter awards season. But, Wilde is also already hard at work on her next movie, the Christmas comedy, Naughty, which has Jennifer Aniston and Peter Dinklage set to star. Now, THR reports a new addition to the cast, Ready or Not‘s Samara Weaving.
Weaving joins a solid cast that includes Regina Hall, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders. Aniston directs from a script by Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden. The plot sounds almost as nutty as that film was.
Described as “Bridesmaids in the North Pole, Naughty stars Aniston as Mallory, whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing.
Dinklage will play Santa Claus. Seriously. Wonders and Hall are Aniston’s best friends, with Barinholtz as her douchebag ex. Weaving plays his mistress.
Weaving has already had a big year with three films: Ready or Not 2, Carolina Caroline, and Over Your Dead Body. The biggest news, however, came when she joined the cast of Marvel’s X-Men reboot as Emma Frost.
Universal has set Naughty to open on November 5th 2027.
