Billy Bob Thornton Returns In Offical 'Bad Santa 2' Red Band Trailer - Watch Now!

Billy Bob Thornton gets back into the Santa Claus costume in the official Red Band trailer for his anticipated film Bad Santa 2!

Here’s an official synopsis: Bad Santa 2 returns the 61-year-old actor to the screen as America’s favorite anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (Tony Cox), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is ‘the kid’ – chubby and cheery Thurman Merman (Brett Kelly), a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie’s sliver of humanity. Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke (Kathy Bates). A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane (Christina Hendricks), the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel.

Bad Santa 2 is coming to theaters November 23, 2016 – Watch the trailer below!
