Us: Get Out's Jordan Peele reveals title of his next film, lines up star cast
Given the huge success of Get Out and the ardent fanbase it garnered, expectation is huge for director Jordan Peele's next film.
Today, he confirmed it will be called Us, sharing a first poster for the movie.
The poster is minimalist and doesn't give much away, showing what appears to be a Rorschach-like mirror image of a black woman's face in profile.
Peele's tweet has already attracted over 170,000 retweets.
Though plot details are being kept firmly under wraps, Variety reports that Lupita Nyong'o is in talks to star, with Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale) and Winston Duke (Black Panther) in line for another lead role.
Us will be the first movie under Peele's first-look deal with Universal Picture.
The writer-director, who picked up the Original Screenplay award at the 2018 Oscars, is currently executive producing TV show The Last O.G. and will also produce the upcoming television remake of The Twilight Zone.
