24 hours after a report from a trusted industry insider generated some serious hype, another report from another insider has shut it down. Following the news that Jordan Peele and Marvel Studios had met over the possibility of Peele leading an MCU film—and the subsequent social media reaction to the news from Peele’s production company–it’s beginning to sound as though it’s all just old news.
According to Jeff “Th In” Sneider, it is true that Marvel is interested in Peele helming an MCU flick.
Nope – It was the emoji seen around the world… A pair of eyes tweeted from the official account of Jordan Peele’s production company, hovering over a report from noted-yet-somehow-faceless scooper DanielRPK that suggested Marvel wants Peele to direct a movie for the studio. Here’s a news flash for ya – l said that last year. Peele did, in fact, take a meeting with Marvel Studios.

However, according to Sneider, “Peeley is not directing a Marvel movie as of now” and is “still hard at work…at whatever he’s working
So what? That’s what Marvel Studios does – it takes meetings with the town’s best and brightest filmmakers. So while I’m sure Marvel would love to work with Jordan Peele one day – it’s true!!! – I can assure you that Peele is not directing a Marvel movie as of now. Not Blade or Midnight Sons or Doctor Strange 3, or anything else that Kevin Feige & Co. are cooking up in Burbank. I get that it’s fun to speculate, and meetings can be tempting to report on, but there simply is no story here. It’s pure vapor that came out of thin air. Maybe next time, we shouldn’t Jump to conclusions based on emojis, eh, folks? Peele is still hard at work on… whatever he’s working on… which could be ready as soon as 2027. Stay tuned!

And so, for Blade, it seems it’s back to the drawing board; and as for Midnight Sons, plenty of rumblings about the film have emerged without an official peep from Marvel Studios.
