*On the heels of his critically-acclaimed and commercially-successful directorial debut “Get Out,” Jordan Peele has at last revealed the name of his long-awaited follow-up.
The film is called “Us,” which Peele announced Tuesday night across his social media accounts, and sources tell Variety that Lupita Nyong’o is in talks to star, with Elisabeth Moss and Winston Duke being eyed for major roles as well.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Peele will write and direct the project, as well as produce under his Monkeypaw Productions banner, alongside Sean McKittrick and Jason Blum, according to Variety.
Due in theaters on March 15, 2019, “Us” is the first film under Monkeypaw’s first-look deal with Universal Pictures, which he signed last spring.
“Get Out” opened at No. 1 at the domestic box office last February on its way to grossing $255 million worldwide. It scored “killer” reviews and an Oscar best picture nomination, with Peele winning best original screenplay for the thriller.
