Him Starring Marlon Wayans Drops An Alternate Ending With Its Digital, 4K, And Blu-ray Release
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is bringing Jordan Peele-produced Him to digital, 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD, complete with an alternate ending, after the Marlon Wayans horror topped $25 million worldwide.
Universal is wasting no time getting Him into your living room. The Jordan Peele-produced thriller hits digital tomorrow, with a full 4K/Blu-ray/DVD rollout following in November. It made a bit over $25 million worldwide in theaters, and now it is showing up with an alternate ending and a stack of extras that sound very Monkeypaw in the best way.
What Him is actually about
This is not your inspirational sports movie. Him centers on Cameron Cade, a rising quarterback whose entire identity is football. On the eve of the NFL Combine, he is attacked by a very off-the-rails fan and suffers a brain injury that could end everything. Then his idol steps in: Isaiah White, an eight-time championship-winning QB and mega-celebrity, invites Cam to train at his remote compound, where he lives with his influencer wife, Elsie White. At first it is a dream scenario. Then Isaiah's charm starts to feel... off. Things tilt from mentorship to mind games, and Cam gets dragged into a psychological spiral that costs more than a draft slot.

Who made it (and who is in it)
Justin Tipping directed from a script by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the duo behind Limetown. Marlon Wayans stars, with Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Guapdad 4000, and Tierra Whack in the mix too — yes, those last two are exactly who you think they are.
On the producing side, this is a Monkeypaw Productions joint from Ian Cooper, Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and Jamal M. Watson, with David Kern and Kate Oh as executive producers.
Small, nerdy craft note: the extras shout out thermal cameras and integrated lighting setups, which is not your typical sports-thriller toolkit. Between that and the alternate ending, the home release looks like the version to get if you want the full weirdo, inside-the-machine version of what they were going for.
