“I’ve never really played a classic villain before,” Shipka said at her German premiere on November 3.

JK Simmons, 69, stars opposite the former child star, who portrays Santa Claus.
Shipka praised the Hollywood vet, calling him a “great” scene partner.

She emphasized, “He is so supportive. I mean, everyone – they’re heavyweights, this whole cast. Everyone is so good. And I was just looking, observing and discovering.”
And JK teased that his portrayal of Santa Claus is “not what people would expect.”
He told People magazine: ‘The script of the first description of Santa Claus says he’s not exactly… cheerful. And I thought that really helped me.”
The acclaimed actor admitted that the role was “intimidating” because it has been “played by some great, great actors.”
“I was happy that this was a very different take on it,” he said.
