Overview
- Industry watcher DanielRPK reported that Marvel wants Jordan Peele to direct a future MCU film, without naming a project or noting an offer.
- Monkeypaw Productions amplified the rumor by reposting it with an eyes emoji on X and Instagram, then joked about Blade chatter before stating it is not confirming or denying anything.
- Entertainment Weekly reported that representatives for Marvel, Peele, and Monkeypaw did not provide comment, and there has been no official announcement.
- Coverage highlights Blade as the most likely match given its stalled development and lack of a director, with Mahershala Ali still attached and Midnight Sons also floated as a possibility.
- Reports recall Jeff Sneider’s earlier claim that Peele met with Marvel previously and note Peele’s past reluctance to direct franchise films, while his next Universal feature was removed from the release schedule.
