The _Get Out_ filmmaker and Universal Pictures announced Tuesday that Peele’s next feature will be “another original and provocative thriller,” titled _Us_. As previously announced, the film is slated to arrive March 15, 2019. EW can also confirm that Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to star in the film, while her _Black Panther_ cast mate Winston Duke and _The Handmaid’s Tale_ star Elisabeth Moss are also being eyed for roles. > [](https://twitter.com/JordanPeele/status/994004752466767872) Peele revealed the film’s title on social media, tweeting a teaser poster without a caption. The one-sheet describes the film as “a new nightmare from the mind of” Peele, though Universal’s accompanying press release did not reveal plot details. Peele will once again direct from a screenplay he wrote, and he’s producing alongside Ian Cooper, Sean McKittrick, and horror maverick Jason Blum. The _Key & Peele_ co-creator and star has been busy the past year and a half, releasing his unique genre hybrid _Get Out_ in January 2017 to critical acclaim and an impressive $176 million at the domestic box office (on a minuscule $4.5 million budget). Last July, his wife, comedian Chelsea Peretti, gave birth to the couple’s first son. And in March of this year, Peele became the [first black screenwriter to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay](http://ew.com/awards/2018/03/04/oscars-2018-get-out-original-screenplay/ "undefined"). _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/movies/2018/05/08/jordan-peele-new-movie-us-lupita-nyongo/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_Ew.com_](http://ew.com/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5270542/jordan-peele-new-film-us-lupita-nyongo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5270542/jordan-peele-new-film-us-lupita-nyongo/"},"headline":"Jordan Peele's Next Film is Titled Us and Could Star Lupita Nyong'o","datePublished":"2018-05-09T03:07:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T20:13:07.887Z","description":"Jordan Peele announced Tuesday that his next feature will be “another original and provocative thriller,” titled 'Us'","url":"https://time.com/5270542/jordan-peele-new-film-us-lupita-nyongo/","keywords":["movies","onetime","overnight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56e1baa378afa00a/69892fe2bc6cfc8db83e5e45/gettyimages-927345554.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Joey Nolfi / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt56e1baa378afa00a/69892fe2bc6cfc8db83e5e45/gettyimages-927345554.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-OSCARS-PRESSROOM","caption":"US-OSCARS-PRESSROOM","creditText":"Frederic J.
