*Under its fresh first-look deal with “Get Out” filmmaker Jordan Peele, Universal has set the release date of his next film for March 15, 2019, reports Variety.
The as-yet-untitled project will be a social thriller written, directed and produced by Peele based on his original idea. The movie’s plot details are being kept under wraps.
The release date places it in direct competition against Brie Larson’s “Captain Marvel,” which opens the week before, and Millie Bobby Brown’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” which launches the following week.
“Get Out” opened at the top of the domestic box office in February, and the thriller has since become both a commercial and critical success, grossing almost $230 million worldwide. Under his new deal, Peele will also produce a wide range of movies for the studio through his Monkeypaw Productions, including several micro-budget projects with Jason Blum, as he did with “Get Out.”
Peele also recently announced plans to develop “Lovecraft Country,” a new HBO event series with Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Ben Stephenson, and “Underground” co-creator and showrunner Misha Green.
