After passing on directing Marvel Studios highly-anticipated X-Men film, expected to hit theaters in 2028, Jordan Peele has reportedly found himself the apple of Kevin Feige’s eye once again. Industry insider Daniel Richtman shared the news that Marvel had circled back to the Academy Award-winning creative to helm an as yet unnamed Phase 7 project and while these types of stories usually come and go without hearing from the parties involved, the cookie seems to have crumbled a little differently this time around.
In response to a post on X which shared the news about Marvel’s interest in teaming up with Peele, Monkeypaw Productions, founded by the creative in 2012, reshared the tweet with the eyes emoji.
While it certainly can’t be counted as any type of confirmation–nor can it be certain that Peele is behind the social media post–it is absolutely one of the most interesting things going on today.
The news comes after Peele‘s next project, originally planned for a 2024 release, was removed from Universal Pictures’ 2026 slate earlier this year.
