Jordan Peele's Mysterious New Movie Just Vanished From Universal's Release Calendar

Jordan Peele's next movie just pulled a vanishing act. Not exactly the update anyone was hoping for.

What just happened

Universal quietly scrubbed Peele's untitled fourth feature from its online release calendar. This is the same movie the studio had planted on October 23, 2026. There has been basically zero official info since that 2024 dating, and now the calendar update suggests the film is being pushed to a new date. No announcement from Universal or Peele yet, but in studio-speak, removing a title like this usually means delay first, new date later.

Peele's recent run (and what he's been up to)

• Directed: Get Out (2017), Us (2019), Nope (2022)
• Co-wrote: Keanu (2016), Candyman (2021), Wendell & Wild (2022)
• Produced: all of the above, plus BlacKkKlansman (2018) and Monkey Man (2024)

Meanwhile, one Peele-produced project is dated

Him, which Peele produced, hits theaters in the United States on September 19. The cast includes Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, and more. Withers, a former college wide receiver, leads the film as a hotshot quarterback on the brink of the pros.

Here is the official synopsis:

'Him stars former college wide receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football's annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma. Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protege down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.'

The read

Universal yanking Peele's title off the calendar without a formal note is classic inside-baseball stuff. It likely gets re-dated once the studio and Peele are ready to go public with a schedule that actually sticks. Until then: the fourth feature is officially MIA on the calendar, and Him is the one you can actually circle a date for.
