In keeping with his usual style, Peele has this far said nothing about the title, genre or cast for the new movie. So what do we know about the new film from Peele? Nothing, at least for now. (L to R) Daniel Kaluuya and director Jordan Peele on the set of 'Get Out.' Related Article: Movie Review: ‘Nope’ What will Jordan Peele’s new film be about? Skeptics keep pointing to ‘Avatar’ fatigue as a problem for the franchise moving forward but given ‘The Way of Water’s results so far, that’s unlikely. But follow-up ‘ Avatar: The Way of Water’ is no slouch in that department either, having earned more than $2.3 billion for third place on the list. The original 2009 film remains the highest grossing modern film, with more than $2.9 billion in the bank. That one is more likely to be a challenge, especially since the ‘ Avatar’ films have been adept at steamrollering over other releases. To make it more exciting/challenging, that date is exactly one week after the arrival of both ‘ Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ (which we would figure as less of a threat, since Peele’s movies are rarely aimed at kids and families) and James Cameron’s third ‘ Avatar’ movie. His next film, the fourth he’s written and directed, will be in theaters on 25 December 2024. There are few bigger examples of confidence than lining up a filmmaker’s new title –– without any real details to share –– in a competitive release slot, and Peele’s latest faces a real one. And following the success of ‘ Get Out’, ‘ Us’ and last year’s ‘ Nope’, it’s perhaps not all that surprising that the studio would see him as a heavy hitter. Jordan Peele has clearly earned Universal’s trust. (L to R) Daniel Kaluuya and Writer/Director/Producer Jordan Peele on the set of 'Nope.' © 2022 Universal Studios.
