He's given us "Get Out," "Us," and "Nope," and Peele is carving out his next blockbuster hit.

We're unsure if you've projected plans for Christmas season 2024, but Jordan Peele is mapping out a takeover. The comedy giant-turned-horror filmmaker's movies have been one blockbuster after another. His career is a case study in successful crossover appeal, and fans worldwide have been amazed by his productions. According to Variety, Peele is readying a new film to bulk up his growing résumé of titillating thrillers.

It seems that Universal Pictures slyly released minimal information about Peele's next hit. The director has a habit of being enigmatic when teasing his releases. While others opt to share information about the cast and production credits far out to gain buzz about a project, Peele does the complete opposite. He doesn't tell much of anything about his films until their rollout press season, and he's done just that with his Holiday 2024 feature. Universal Pictures helped release Peele's Get Out, Us, and last year's Nope, and they've added Untitled Fourth Film Directed by Jordan Peele. It's slated to hit theaters on December 25.

Jordan Peele Box Office Battle

Christmas Day has been a coveted release date for the movie industry for generations. Massive Hollywood productions often fight it out to see who with reign, and it's already shaping up to be a battle at the box office. On December 24, 2024, Variety reported that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and James Cameron's Avatar 3 are both set to premiere. As if that wasn't enough, Wicked was also set for release that weekend. However, the film adaptation of the famed musical will arrive on Thanksgiving next year.

Additionally, that may not be the only Peele-affiliate feature of 2024. His production company, Monkeypaw, has another film that's said to hit theaters or streaming services on September 27, 2024. Like his other productions, nothing has been shared about the feature. Yet, fans believe Peele will stick to his horror-thriller-science fiction appeal and continue moving through those genres. He jumped into a new space in 2017 when he released his acclaimed Get Out, starring Daniel Kaluuya. The film placed him on the map of formidable filmmaking contenders, earning four nods from the Academy Awards. Us arrived two years later with Winston Duke and Lupita Nyong'o, and more recently, Nope with Kaluuya and Keke Palmer stormed the box office. Are you excited about Peele's next film?
