Hij won een Oscar voor de horrorfilm Get Out (2017) en volgde dit op met het eveneens succesvolle Us in 2019. Aankomend weekend verschijnt alweer zijn derde titel.
Zijn nieuwste heet Nope, een sciencefictionthriller met Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer en Steven Yeun in de hoofdrollen. De eerste persvertoningen zijn geweest en reacties overspoelen social media.
Zoals gebruikelijk, zijn deze eerste reacties overweldigend positief, maar in dit geval zijn ze wel héél erg positief. 'Een wilde rit, onvergetelijk, krankzinnig afwijkend' en 'niets wat je verwacht' zijn slechts enkele van de reacties op Twitter en het lijkt er dus op dat Peele weer een pareltje in handen heeft. Lees enkele Tweets hieronder:

Jordan Peele's #Nope is one of the best films I've watched this year! It's frightening & ferocious, but also very funny & unlike any UFO movie you've ever seen. It is a wholly unique & VERY entertaining horror epic full of wild surprises & an unforgettable Keke Palmer performance pic.twitter.com/iua9HPt0RG

Nope is nothing like what you'd expect. An entertaining head-scratcher, equal parts confusing and terrifying and, like most of the films by @JordanPeele, offers layers you likely won't peel back in one sitting. (CONT'D) #NopeMovie pic.twitter.com/GwkHzqkynt

#NopeMovie is otherworldly yet indescribable. From instances of sheer terror to heartfelt moments btwn the characters, #Nope is an experience that won't be easy to shake off as you find yourself picking your jaw up from the floor. Jordan Peele has done it again! @nopemovie pic.twitter.com/bUr1ad5TAx

I LOVE this amazing cast! It's Jordan Peele's biggest spectacle yet. Keke Palmer & Daniel Kaluuya are pitch perfect as a sibling duo, Yeun glows on screen & Perea is a DELIGHT! #NOPE pic.twitter.com/W2WPKnLnQB
With #Nope, Jordan Peele continues his brilliant run crafting detailed, layered, and fascinating horror films, and it's a blast. It's a summer spectacle about spectacle, and while there are many flavors mixed in, it's particularly an excellent tribute to Jaws. Peele is 3-for-3. pic.twitter.com/aFKg2uTZ5v

The most important thing you need to know about NOPE is it's crazy different from Get Out & Us. This is Jordan Peele spreading his wings and making big budget Spielberg/esque sci-fi, but with the subtext you'd expect. Enter with an open mind and you'll be rewarded. #NopeMovie

So #NopeMovie is absolutely phenomenal in so many ways. Perfectly blends together a sci-fi spectacle w/a story that is also something of a Hollywood reckoning & it blew my expectations away. Gorgeously shot, the sound mix is thunderous & the cast all shines. Love love loved it. pic.twitter.com/qdcZIvsX5T

Jordan Peele's Nope is his most confident, unfettered, and potentially most divisive vision yet. Swapping the exclamation marks of horror for the question marks of sci-fi, this is less about scares. With hints of Close Encounters, Jaws, and more, #NopeMovie is a real puzzlebox. pic.twitter.com/Ny3EVaLTqW

#NopeMovie is a resounding YES. See it on the biggest screen you can find. A thrilling and strange spectacle unlike anything else out there. I'll never look at the sky the same way again.

Get Out 2
Tijdens promo-interviews wordt Peele nog regelmatig gevraagd of er een sequel komt op de hit waarmee hij in 2017 doorbrak, Get Out. Zijn antwoord blijft simpelweg: "Dat wordt me wel erg veel gevraagd, ja. Zeg nooit 'nooit'. Er is zeker nog veel om over te praten. We zullen zien".
