Overview
- Industry insider Daniel Richtman reported that Marvel wants Jordan Peele to direct a future Marvel Cinematic Universe movie.
- Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions amplified the report on December 29 with an eyes emoji on X and Instagram, prompting widespread attention without confirming details.
- Neither Marvel Studios nor Peele has announced a deal, named a project, or indicated that a formal offer is in place.
- Speculation most often centers on the troubled Blade reboot, which remains off the release calendar as Kevin Feige has said Mahershala Ali is still attached.
- Background context includes Jeff Sneider’s claim that Peele previously met with Marvel about directing, Peele’s 2019 hesitation about comic‑book films, and the removal of his untitled Universal project from the schedule.
