THRreports that the film will focus on two couples, one couple white and the other black. Currently, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, both coming out of thecrazy successofBlack Panther, are in negotiations to star as the black couple. Meanwhile, Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) is in negotiations to be one half of the white couple.

Get Outwas a “social thriller” that converted real-life race relations in America into aStepford Wives-style tale of paranoia. The header for theUsposter promises “a new nightmare,” implying a return to a similar thriller/horror genre. But with Peelestating in the pastthat he’d like to tackle other issues besides race, we can only speculate what Peele will tackle next: the dynamics of marriage? Classism? Whatever it may be, expect it to be handled with nuance—the opposite ofmother!, let’s say.
Universal will distribute the film as they did withGet Out, with Peele again directing his own script. The release date forUs, a title that is sure to inspire pronoun fun for us (heh) in the future, is already set for July 21, 2025.
