Marcus (Bad Santa)

Marcus is the best friend of Willie Stokes in the crime comedy films Bad Santa & Bad Santa 2. The latter of which will be released November 23, 2016. He is portrayed by Tony Cox in both films.

He is a dwarf who therefore poses as an elf. He later becomes the main antagonist because of Willie's unreliance (as shown when he warms up to bartender Sue and an orphan boy later revealed to be named Thurman Merman, and when Marcus tries to teach the boy to fight inappropriately). He and Lois are arrested in the end.

Marcus will return in the sequel. As shown in the trailers, Marcus has received an early release from prison and repairs his friendship with Willie so they can do another heist together. Marcus tells Willie that the next mission could earn them millions. Willie, as expected, is hesitant citing the ending moments of the original film "you tried to murder me!". Still, Willie forgives Marcus and agrees to be Santa Claus again.
