Jordan Peele Comments On Possible Get Out 2

Nope director Jordan Peele comments on the sequel potential for his horror hit Get Out and whether or not there's anything left for it. Nope director Jordan Peele comments on whether or not a Get Out 2 could happen. Peele started out as one half of the comedic Key and Peele duo alongside Keegan-Michael Key, though over the years he has shifted towards directing gripping horror films. Starring Nope's Daniel Kaluuya, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, and Allison Williams, Get Out was Peele's directorial debut and was both a critical and financial success. Peele followed the film up with another horror entry, 2019's Us with Lupita Nyong'o, Elizabeth Moss, and Winston Duke, which solidified the director as a craftsman within the genre.


Get Out follows a Black man (Kaluuya) who goes to meet his white girlfriend's (Williams) parents (Keener and Whitford) at their remote home. Not long after he arrives, things slowly begin to unravel, and the man's presence ends up having a far more sinister purpose than he could have imagined. The Blumhouse-produced Get Out was a massive hit, earning $255 million worldwide from a $4.5 million budget. It has since gone on to become a modern classic of the genre. Following its debut, the question of a sequel has been floated frequently, but Peele has thus far focused on new projects like Us and Nope, rather than sequels.


Nope's Get Out & Us Differences Tease Makes Peele's Movie More Exciting


Nope, in distinguishing itself from Us and Get Out, two of Peele's other horror films, might make itself the most exciting project of his to date. Keke Palmer, star of the upcoming horror flick Nope, said the film is “nothing like Get Out or Us,” making Peele’s upcoming film all the more exciting. While not much is known about the plot of Nope, Palmer’s reference to the film being vastly different from Peele’s other two horror projects may be the best thing for the writer/director going forward. This seems particularly interesting as some of Peele’s work has previously suffered under the umbrella of comparison in the past.


Nope, a title recently explained by Peele, follows Palmer and her co-star Daniel Kaluuya as Jill and James Haywood, respectively, owners of the only Black-owned horse training ranch in Hollywood. However, Palmer’s enthusiasm and charm soon gives way to unnerving images of strange flying animals and a large cloud-like object floating in the sky. While in some ways, the film seems in step with Peele’s previous work, the lack of a definitive plot given in the film’s trailer might hint that the film is more of a departure for Peele.


Nope (both in terms of plot and style) might be vastly different from both films, feels like a promising, fresh move for Peele’s body of work. While it seems likely that the film will deal with current issues via social commentary, Palmer also referenced that Nope, while borrowing from Get Out, explores very different themes from Peele’s past projects. Between this difference, and some allusions to stylistic differences, Nope has the exciting potential to break from the mold left behind by both Get Out and Us.


Peele has yet to announce his next project after Nope, but he will be re-teaming with his Key and Peele partner for Henry Selick's stop-motion animation film, Wendell and Wild, which debuts later this year on Netflix. While this means he could arguably turn his attention to a potential Get Out sequel, it seems more likely that Peele will stick with exploring his original ideas for the time being. There are numerous avenues where Get Out 2 could go, but it sounds like Peele would need a very good reason to return to that universe, even if he will never reject the idea outright.


Palmer’s references to the tone of Nope hint at the film being vastly different from something like Get Out. Palmer, in her interview, said that Nope has “a lot of ‘70s tones.” If this is the case, combine those tones with some of the almost comedic moments peppered throughout the trailer, and Nope may also be a vast tonal departure for Peele as well as a thematic one.
