このコンテンツについて
Jordan Peele has been all over the headlines this week, marked by both heightened anticipation and a palpable air of uncertainty about his next move. The big news, as reported by Variety and echoed across industry outlets, is that Universal Pictures has quietly removed Peele’s highly-anticipated fourth directorial effort from its 2026 release calendar. Originally eyed for an October 2026 launch, and before that even juggled for a possible 2024 debut, the film is now in limbo with no script in hand and cameras nowhere near rolling. Industry whispers, picked up by World of Reel, paint this as more than a scheduling hiccup. One particularly blunt studio executive told TheInSneider that Peele, once hailed as a genre revolutionary after Get Out, has been chasing diminishing returns, with each successive project raking in less box office and generating more division among fans. The same source claims, Maybe he got too high on his own supply and needs a change of pace. Still, Peele retains critical defenders who argue that a strong concept could set his streak right, provided the next movie connects with audiences.
Meanwhile, Peele’s name remains front-and-center on the promotional machine for Him, a new supernatural sports horror he produced, which opened in theaters nationwide September 19th. Directed by Justin Tipping, with a script co-written by Tipping, Zack Akers, and Skip Bronkie—not Peele this time—the movie stars Tyriq Withers as a promising football phenom and Marlon Wayans in a dark turn as his mentor, a revered quarterback hiding monstrous secrets. Him has drawn major attention for Wayans’ performance and for using football as an analogy for cultish celebrity, sacrifice, and exploitation. Reviews have landed with a thud more than a splash: Vince Mancini at Substack calls it all sizzle no steak, criticizing the film for muddled storytelling despite clear thematic ambition. Keith & the Movies offers a more generous take, praising its queasy genre swings but acknowledging it tries to juggle too many ideas at once. Still, Him is dominating movie conversation and was spotlighted at packed events like the Movie Night in Georgetown on September 21.
On social media, Peele’s name is trending more for producer credits and speculation about his next move than for hands-on creative breakthroughs. Discussion ranges from critics dissecting Him to Twitter threads wondering when, or if, Peele will finally announce something concrete. Monkeypaw Productions, Peele’s banner, just weathered layoffs, suggesting corporate growing pains behind the scenes. There are reports Peele is seeking new representation, reportedly unsettled over a lost bidding war last year.
In sum, Jordan Peele is everywhere and yet, creatively, nowhere definitive right now. The industry is watching closely. Whether his next chapter cements his genre legacy, or marks a period of creative recalibration, remains the burning question.
