Jordan Peele is gearing up for his sophomore film's release. The Get Out director teased a brand new movie titled Us that he's developed and it's set to premiere in March 2019.

We don't know much about the new project, as of yet. But, from the looks of the poster, it appears to be another thriller. If so, we're even more excited about it. We can all remember how amazing Get Out was when it was released in February 2017. Peele's directorial debut would go on to hit No. 1 in box offices and gross over $255 million worldwide. Get Out also allowed Peele to win his very first Oscar in the best director category.

Variety is reporting that fellow Oscar award-winning Lupita Nyong’o could be starring in the upcoming movie. "Peele announced the title on his social media accounts on Tuesday, and sources also tell Variety that Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to star, with Elisabeth Moss eyed as the top choice for another lead role," the publication reports. "Winston Duke is also being eyed for another lead role in the movie."

Us will be Peele's first project under his first-look deal with Universal Pictures. The star will produce the movie for Monkeypaw Productions with Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum. We can't wait to watch! Check out Peele's announcement below.
