A lot of pessimism surrounded my weekend story about Jordan Peele potentially signing on for a Marvel movie. I’ll admit—I’m currently in the “believe-it-when-I-see-it” camp on this one. Peele’s known for keeping his projects close to the vest, so rumors like this always come with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Yet here’s Peele’s production company, Monkeypaw, retweeting the Marvel story with an 👀 emoji. Take it however you want. That single emoji is enough to set speculation on fire, and in the internet age, fans will read a lot into the tiniest hint.
It’s clear talks between both parties have been happening for over a year, and maybe Peele has finally hopped on board one of Marvel’s projects—maybe even “Blade,” just sayin’. Whatever the case, if this pans out, it could mark a curious new direction for Peele.
