- Jordan Peele's production company, Monkeypaw Studios, teased a potential collaboration between the filmmaker and Marvel Studios.

- In a later social media post, Monkeypaw said, "We are not confirming or denying this."

- Peele previously said that he has no interest in directing franchise movies.

Is Marvel hiring Jordan Peele to direct a superhero movie?

Rumors have repeatedly circulated that Marvel Studios has courted the *Get Out *filmmaker in the hopes that he might helm a future project for the studio. Neither Marvel nor Peele has addressed those rumors in any capacity, so there has never been any reason to believe them — until this week.

On Monday, the official X account for Peele's production company, Monkeypaw Productions, responded to a post claiming that Marvel wants the *Nope* filmmaker to direct a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. The account cryptically added the 👀eyes emoji in its repost, suggesting that there might be something to see regarding this topic in the future.

The post prompted widespread speculation among fans, who requested that the *Us* filmmaker tackle Marvel properties like *X-Men*, *Blade*, or *Midnight Sons* in a potential collaboration with the superhero studio.

On Tuesday, the same account poked fun at those fans who jumped to conclusions after the initial eyes post. "When the internet thinks you're making a Blade reboot because you said 👀," the Monkeypaw account wrote alongside a still of Peele in the "Sexy Vampires" sketch from season 3 of *Key & Peele*.

Monkeypaw's Instagram account also acknowledged the situation on Tuesday, sharing a post to the company's Instagram Stories from Complex titled "Jordan Peele's company teased upcoming Marvel film." Monkeypaw added, "Your honor we are not confirming or denying this."

Representatives for Peele, Monkeypaw, and Marvel did not immediately respond to **'s request for comment.

Marvel's next projects will be *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Avengers: Secret Wars*, releasing in back-to-back Decembers in 2026 and 2027. Both films are being directed by the Russo brothers.

The studio has yet to announce a slate of films beyond those two *Avengers* films, though it does still have one previously announced project that has yet to come to fruition: *Blade*, which was announced in 2019 with Mahershala Ali in the starring role. The film has cycled through multiple directors and screenwriters, and does not currently have a director attached.

Peele's fourth directorial feature was originally scheduled to release in December 2024. The project was removed from Universal's release calendar in late 2023. The film was later rescheduled for October 2026, though it was removed from that slot in September, and a new date has yet to be announced. No further details about the project are available.

Peele has previously stated that he has no interest in making superhero movies — or franchise films of any kind. While promoting *Get Out* in a 2017 interview with Screen Junkies, the filmmaker was asked whether he'd want to make a film for Marvel, DC, or Lucasfilm.

"None," he responded. "The past eight years, I've come up with four other scripts in the social horror genre. I think what people love about this movie so far is that they can't see it anywhere else, it's sort of a unique film. So I feel like my responsibility to the world at this point is to keep making original films, try to do some elevated horror, fun horror that says something. I think that's what I'm here for."

Peele shared similar sentiments with *Rolling Stone* in 2019. "So many of those properties — it’s a childhood dream to be able to essentially see what you saw in your imagination as a child, watching or reading or whatever you were doing with that stuff,” he said. “It’s a filmmaker’s dream. But you know, I feel like I only have so much time. I have a lot of stories to tell, and it just doesn’t feel right."

Peele later told the outlet, "I’m a comic book and graphic novel appreciator, but I can’t call myself a true fan boy."**
