Steven Yeun first became a household name for his work on ‘The Walking Dead‘ and now it looks like he might be going back to the horror genre.
After starring in the Oscar-nominated film ‘Minari’ Yeun is currently in negotiations to star in Jordan Peele’s next horror feature.
If the deal becomes official, he’ll be joining Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya.
Deadline was first to break the news:
It would mark the first collaboration between Peele and Kaluuya since the Best Picture-nominated Get Out, which earned Kaluuya a nomination for best actor while Peele won for best original screenplay.
Besides directing and writing the pic, Peele will also produce alongside Ian Cooper for their Monkeypaw Productions, via the company’s exclusive five-year deal with Universal.
As always with Peele’s projects, the plot details remain under wraps. You typically don’t hear much about the details until the first trailer is released, and even then you’re kinda like, “Wait, what?” and hell sometimes, you don’t even know what the movie was about until two weeks after you watch it.
This latest film is expected to be released July 22, 2022, so filming will most likely start in the fall of 2021.
We’ll keep you posted.
