New Spiritedimagesreveal the first official look at Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell's new movie. The two stars' careers have seemed to be going in opposite directions in recent years. Following his solo debut as Wade Wilson in 2016's Deadpool, which raised Reynolds' profile in earnest, the actor has followed that up with a string of hits outside the series, including Free Guy and Red Notice. On the other hand, Ferrell is best known for his countless comedies from the 2000s but in recent years, has failed to live up to his lofty reputation as a funnyman.
WithDaddy's Home Sean Anders and John Morris serving as writer/directors, Spirited will team the two comedic talents for a holiday event coming to Apple TV+. The movie will act as a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' ubiquitous 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, but as a musical. Reynolds stars in the lead role as Ebenezer Scrooge, while Ferrell shares top billing as the Ghost of Christmas Present. The Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer stars in an undisclosed role and Mr. Robot's Sunita Mani plays the Ghost of Christmas Past.
