Christina Hendricks has been signed to play the love interest of Billy Bob Thornton for “Bad Santa 2”. Looks like “Bad Santa 2” is just starting to cast some actors and the film is moving forward finally. If you’ve forgotten who Christina Hendricks is, she had a role in the action/thriller film starring Ryan Gosling, “Drive”.
It looks like Thornton’s character, Willie Stokes is still gonna be a mall Santa like the first one. It will probably be taken place at a different mall and the mall will probably have a new manager. Remember, the manager was played by John Ritter in the first one. John Ritter passed away so he won’t be able to return to the sequel, sadly. Bernie Mac also passed away so he won’t be able to return as well.

I love the first “Bad Santa” movie. It’s one of my favorite comedies and Christmas movies of all time. I’m sure they will make the sequel even more funnier than the last. They will make the humor more crude and more offensive than the first one, I’m sure.
I’m pretty sure Willie Stokes will be the same guy like he was in the first one. The same old short tempered drunk but I’m sure he will be slightly different after what happened to him at the end of the first one, though. Don’t wanna really give any spoilers.
Hopefully, Tony Cox the little person who played Willie’s elf will make a return too ’cause he was a funny character.
