MCU would benefit greatly

Stripe-Gremlin2025-12-29 21:29

My guess is they might have finally worked something out to get him to do Blade…which could mean Disney have agreed to let him do the Gargoyles movie he’s been desperate to make

RedHeadedSicilian522025-12-29 21:29

_Blade_/_Gargoyles_ crossover inbound.

Harlockarcadia2025-12-29 21:39

in my head, i just heard Keith David say "some motherfuckers always tryin' to ice-skate uphill" and..._chills._ all over.

If we get a gargoyles movie ill have to buy new pants to contain my raging erection

He can play Xanatos.

This is a man that knows how to cast Keith David!

stagedane2025-12-29 22:29

I never even watched Gargoyles but I loooove me some Keith David!

vishasv2025-12-30 00:48

That was a community reference.

Skadoosh_it2025-12-30 00:31

Johnathan Frakes is still right there, too.

Neveronlyadream2025-12-30 03:35

Frakes is looking a bit too old these days, and that's coming from someone who adores him.

He should definitely be in the movie if they ever make it though. It would be criminal to leave him out entirely.

davwad22025-12-30 06:41

Xanatos' dad is who Riker, I mean Frakes, could play, if it's live action.

Neveronlyadream2025-12-30 07:03

I'd be 100% onboard with him being Xanatos' dad.

If I'm being honest, I'd rather just have him in the role if they just pick up after the series ended and continue on. But I'm sure they'd just do a live action reboot.

Stripe-Gremlin2025-12-29 22:07

Hear me out, Colman Domingo voicing Goliath

wynonna_burp2025-12-29 22:08

KEITH DAVID IS STILL WITH US!!!

Isn't this from when he received an award he didn't know about? His wife had set it all up to record his reaction. I remember it being super sweet.

yesmoreeggtalk672025-12-30 00:58

The announcement that he had gotten a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Afwife19922025-12-30 00:27

My 31 year old daughter LOVES Gargoyles and LOVES Keith David. She was going to meet him at a recent comic con but he had to cancel due to filming obligations and she was so bummed.

_steve_rogers_2025-12-30 00:39

I want Keith David to voice a Spawn animated movie. Since were never getting whatever the hell McFarlane has been trying to make for 20 years

GobliNSlay3r2025-12-29 22:05

I want a Mummies Alive live action..

Riley__642025-12-29 22:16

I’d love to see a gargoyles and marvel crossover doesn’t even need to be MCU.

The gargoyles are already in New York so it’s not like it’d even be hard to explain their existence

demonoddy2025-12-29 21:36

If he does blade that’s going to be insane lol

lynchcontraideal2025-12-29 22:43

If they let him make it look like *his* style of filmmaking, yes

demonoddy2025-12-29 22:57

I’m curious how we would direct action he’s never really done that

YZJay2025-12-30 03:18

For directors with minimal action experience, Marvel usually ropes in a dedicated action director to help with the fight sequences.

demonoddy2025-12-30 03:48

True but it helps

christopher_aia2025-12-30 08:22

I dunno, NOPE and Us had a fair bit of fights and action! I bet with Marvel's resources he could make very cool action pieces.

rayden-shou2025-12-29 21:38

And maybe Mahershala talked to him about making the movie together.

SeekerVash2025-12-30 00:29

I doubt Mahershala is still involved. At this point, if they fast tracked it, he'd be 53 before it would release. They'd be looking for someone capable of 10-15 years of involvement for stand alones, Midnight Sons, and Avengers, he'd be 63-68 by the end.

You can't play a very slow aging vampire believably while approaching 70.

moonwalkerfilms2025-12-29 21:38

Holy fuck, I was already hyped about Blade but we might also get a Gargoyles movie out of this?

Stripe-Gremlin2025-12-29 21:43

Yeah i believe Peele has said a few times that the only licensed property he has any interest in directing is a Gargoyles movie

matches-malone2025-12-29 21:57

Truly a man of the people.

mrbaryonyx2025-12-30 00:30

holy shit man why can't they just let him cook

LebowskiSupreme2025-12-29 21:42

Duuuuudee Gargoyles directed by Peele would be insane.

Gargoyles movie?

brendamn2025-12-29 21:43

Wasn't gargoyles super popular? I was a kid before reddit so I'm not sure

19thScorpion2025-12-29 21:47

Yessss one of the greatest cartoons ever!!

Stripe-Gremlin2025-12-29 21:48

I believe it’s a cult classic but hasn’t had much popularity aside from that

Linnus422025-12-29 21:43

Right probably a 1 for Us and 1 for You Deal...you do Blade, Ghost Rider, and/or Midnight Sons/Suns for Us. And will let you do a Gargoyle Movie.

Jon_Snow_18872025-12-30 03:57

I would legit nut for a midnight suns movie, but I worry it needs too much character development (it’s like an endgame level threat) to do it justice.

That recent card basted RTS game is one of my fave games of all time.

Wait wait wait.. I was not familiar with this lore... Peele wanted to make a gargoyle movie?!?! Oh HELL yes, that would be decadent.

Stripe-Gremlin2025-12-29 21:58

It’s the one licensed property Peele has any interest in directing from what I’ve heard

Electrorocket2025-12-29 22:22

I said Blaaaaaaaaaade.

-_The_Dark_Knight_--2025-12-29 21:29

Fuck yeah. Let him do Blade

Johnny02302025-12-29 21:29

Blade or Midnight Sons?

Green-Factor-25262025-12-29 21:32

My vote is for both

demonoddy2025-12-29 21:37

Honestly why not

feetandballs2025-12-29 21:42

How do we make it a trilogy?

relikter2025-12-29 22:00

A Moon Knight movie too?

garden_theory2025-12-29 22:24

having rewatched the show recently i feel like he'd work so well in a movie

Mattmandu22025-12-29 21:51

I want him to lead the supernatural movies as a whole, give him ghost rider, blade, moon knight moving forward, some say in Dr strange

carloslet2025-12-29 22:36

OG-Omar2025-12-29 21:34

Why not both

Johnny02302025-12-29 21:39

I think they only want to do one of the two at the moment

SryInternet1012025-12-29 22:00

Maybe Blade with an option for Midnight Suns?

SeekerVash2025-12-30 00:31

Midnight Sons or a Storm standalone.

The news sites ran that Blade is dead and that the intent is to introduce the character in a Midnight Sons movie months ago.

I'd say even odds for either one.

pizza__irl2025-12-29 21:29

Give this man a blank cheque and full creative control to make a blade movie and watch the box office explode

curiiouscat2025-12-29 21:48

I thought the whole schtick with Marvel is you get very little creative control as the director, which is why it's mostly no names. It'd be great if Marvel allowed a little breathing room for its talent to bring their own flair.

bardghost_Isu2025-12-29 21:53

That has been the schtick, but given the recent slate's poor performance, the formula needs a change and maybe bringing in some big names and letting them just run wild with a project is a risk worth taking if they want to regain some of the flair they used to have.

NepheliLouxWarrior2025-12-29 21:59

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I will point out that the Sam Raimi MCU film was absolute dog shit

carlitospig2025-12-30 01:31

Then explain Love & Thunder. 💅🏼

FirstV12025-12-29 21:30

Hell yeah. Can see it being Blade or some form of a Midnight Sons project.

Open to being surprised tho.

Working_Shoulder_7462025-12-29 21:30

I'd want him to do Doctor strange 3

legion_XXX2025-12-29 21:32

He wouldn't be interested in a white male lead.

kneeco282025-12-29 21:31

If they want him to direct an MCU movie? Amazing.

If they want him to put his name and provide thoughts on the next movie made by their machine? Not so much.

If it's Blade, it might actually former. They've tried and failed so much that they might be looking to basically outsource the job.

Shubo4832025-12-29 22:00

It would be the latter. I don't think Marvel is eyeing Peele for anything though. RPK's track record is ass and most directors *don't* want to work on an MCU film because of how they operate.

franktelevision2025-12-29 21:31

I wonder if this is the first Jordan's hearing about this?

rzelln2025-12-29 21:34

Or he started the rumors to try to get Disney to see how popular it would be?

But I hope Disney just has good taste.

demonoddy2025-12-29 21:37

I mean they got Jake schrier to do thunderbolts

WebHead12872025-12-29 21:54

And he signed on for another movie that is supposedly X-Men

demonoddy2025-12-29 22:01

Yes it’s been confirmed. He confirmed it in an interview a while back

SubhasTheJanitor2025-12-29 21:31

This suggests Monkeypaw leaked this news!

KostisPat2572025-12-29 21:39

This happens more often than people think.

TheCitizen6162025-12-29 21:32

Cards on table, I'm 100% emoji-illiterate.

What are those eyes suppose to mean?

Joshawott272025-12-29 21:35

Basically, yes but they can’t “officially” say.

TheCitizen6162025-12-29 21:36

Thank you.

ThoughtVolcano2025-12-29 21:38

It's a vague expression of curiosity, attention, or interest. Roughly expresses something like "I'm listening" or "I'm on the lookout" or "I'm monitoring this" or "tell me more". A way to indicate you're aware of something without giving much more away than that.

demonoddy2025-12-29 21:38

Like oh that’s interesting

Pen_dragons_pizza2025-12-29 21:33

Hopefully it’s a good sign that marvel are moving away from every mcu movie looking the same.

The dcu at this point at least has a varied directorial style

Jackielegs432025-12-29 21:34

I can already read the “creative differences” press release 😍

Agent-Two-THREE2025-12-29 21:50

Lmao. Yeap. Not getting excited until they’re actually filming.

bluediamond123452025-12-29 21:58

I’m not getting excited until it’s released in theaters!

Wannahock882025-12-29 22:52

Best I can do is Disney+

soonerfreak2025-12-29 22:14

Still don't get too excited lol. Howard wasn't brought in for Solo till after 5 months of filming with Lord and Miller.

RandomJPG62025-12-29 22:23

Even then you could have a Solo situation

ZestyData2025-12-29 22:06

Just imagining the meeting where the suits can't fathom the use of Peele-esque metaphor, asking "but where are the cheeky one liner gags?"

Jackielegs432025-12-29 22:32

“The beautiful, simultaneously very obvious yet gorgeously creative visual allegory for racism is right behind me…isn’t it. GULP!”

duncan_robinson2025-12-29 22:50

His films have enough humorous moments.. the suits would be ok

Affectionate-Day83072025-12-29 22:08

Disney - Peele wanted to be creative, we wanted different...

dacalpha2025-12-29 22:52

It's going to be Eternals all over again. Incredible film that is too Marvelly for Chloe Zhao fans, but too Chloe Zhao-y for Marvel fans.

StoneGoldX2025-12-30 01:33

Potentially, but there's more crossover with both Peele and Peele's audience with what Marvel does. Yeah, he's fancy pants artiste, but he's also the guy who stuck a Akira bike slide in a movie.

Where it potentially falls apart is he doesn't need Marvel.

YZJay2025-12-30 03:19

But he wants Disney's Gargoyles, so they've got that as leverage.

cappsy042025-12-29 21:34

Just sent this to the post to my friend, hadn't read the title but just saw the bottom tweet and assumed the rest. Said 'keep seeing this, get a grip, oh wait never mind I just saw the top tweet' oops. Tbf I am high

Harry_Mess2025-12-29 21:35

If DC can have Mike Flanagan do Clayface, then Marvel can definitely find something interesting for Jordan Peele. Hopefully this pans out

Fenian-Monger2025-12-29 21:38

Yeah it would be an incredible get for Marvel and a great response to the DCU. The most intresting thing about the DCU so far has been the talent they have been courting, would love to see Marvel do the same.

AgentP202025-12-29 22:17

The talent they have been hiring is interesting. The problem is most of the project they have been hired for haven't been greenlit for a while now.

Fenian-Monger2025-12-30 01:02

Well they've got Lanterns and Clayface in the coming year which I'm excited to see. I'm sure if those two are successful we will see more movement.

All I hope is the rumours of a Darren Aronofsky Plastic Man film are true, that sounds like it would be bonkers and I'd love to see it. Hopefully Mangold gets around to Swamp Thing as well but apparently he's busy with Star Wars right now.

thecricketnerd2025-12-29 21:47

Flanagan isn't directing but it's still pretty cool

Harry_Mess2025-12-29 21:50

Huh, he couldn’t direct due to scheduling issues. I hadn’t heard.

thecricketnerd2025-12-29 21:54

He still co-wrote, so the fact that he's involved at all is a win for me!

Harry_Mess2025-12-29 21:58

Oh, for sure! I’m very excited to see it still

theShyning_2025-12-29 21:40

If this is true…. Please let it be an R-rated blade film

ZylissTres2025-12-29 21:40

Probably just some Monkeypaw intern doing "work" in the office this week.

Calm-Maintenance-8782025-12-29 21:41

Could be interesting, I’d hope he’d only be used for an original project though. Lots of potential there in the MCU, I just don’t think he’s the fit for something like Blade.

shaka_sulu2025-12-29 21:42

Yes let's respond to rumors with ambiguity

Adorable_Ad_34782025-12-29 21:43

Dr. Strange 3 please.

romafa2025-12-29 21:43

It’s too bad they’ve all but dumped the dark/monster side of the MCU. IMO, one of the more interesting branches they took post-Endgame. Peele could write one of his horror movies with one of those characters.

KostisPat2572025-12-29 21:47

They haven't dumped it. Ironheart, which came out last year was part of that branch. Peele is probably doing Blade, Midnight Suns or both, if this is true.

L0lligag2025-12-29 22:15

This just isn’t true.

YaMomsCooch2025-12-29 21:45

…so is Marvel Entertainment going to actually give him creative freedom?

Or should we expect a “Jordan Peele has departed from the project due to ‘creative differences’” soon after this?

vivianvisionsburner2025-12-29 21:45

My body's ready for it

shadesof32025-12-29 21:45

Would be cool to give him his own little corner in the MCU to do Midnight Sons. Start with Blade and then Ghost Rider and so on. Couple characters could have series and then make a bad ass Midnight Sons movie.

iantruesnacks2025-12-29 21:47

Finally get the blade/black knight movie we need

Interesting_Set15262025-12-29 21:47

This reminds me of when everyone was really sure we were getting a huge name on Fantastic Four. Spielberg getting thrown around. We'll all imagine how interesting it'd be if they got this big of a creative on a film and then it'll just fade away into obscurity and maybe Monkeypaw will have their tag on a film or two.

KostisPat2572025-12-29 21:57

It'd be a different story if Spielberg or one of his associates had retweeted/responded to those rumors.

Interesting_Set15262025-12-29 22:00

Im not arguing there's not movement or that this is all lies. Just that given Marvel Studios history, it doesn't seem very likely this pans out and Peele actually directs a film.

MIDNIGHT SONS MAKE IT HAPPEN

BenFranklinsCat2025-12-30 00:26

Good luck getting Oscar Isaac back. I'm not sure Moon Knight is in the "drive an unfeasibly large dump truck of cash up to the actor's door" category, which is what it would take right now.

misiissleepy2025-12-30 00:57

Hasn’t he said he wants to bring the character back? I saw a clip someone took at his booth at some convention asking him about the character.

BenFranklinsCat2025-12-30 01:02

He did say that at one point, but more recently he said he was done working with Disney until they stopped supporting political causes he disagrees with. I don't know how much he'll stick to that - I mean Ruffalo is pretty vocal about being anti-just-about-everything-Disney-does and still gets called up for Banner duty, but still.

Halceeuhn2025-12-30 01:20

tbf i dont think ruffalo has ever said he was unwilling to work with disney, no?

BenFranklinsCat2025-12-30 01:25

No, he picks his words very carefully on that front.

CaptHayfever2025-12-30 05:04

Isaac was reacting to a specific incident, which has since been addressed.

zenlume2025-12-30 11:52

Wasn't that over the Jimmy Kimmel stuff? Kimmel was brought back, so that issue should be solved, no?

TimelyBlacksmith922025-12-29 21:50

itsmidlifenotacrisis2025-12-29 21:51

L0lligag2025-12-29 22:16

I agree that they need to be the characters to anchor the dark/monster side of things.

EffectzHD2025-12-29 21:57

This isn’t really surprising, the iron curtain fell when Disney let Deadpool 3 produce under ME & 21 laps and then with the Russos doing a tentpole duo-logy with AGBO.

NepheliLouxWarrior2025-12-29 21:58

I like Jordan peele's movies, generally speaking, but what do folks think you would actually bring to the table for an MCU film?

Common_Budget_10872025-12-29 22:02

This Twitter account does this all the time. Twitter Beyhive also speculated that Peele was involved in the making of the visuals for Beyoncé‘s trilogy act and they reposted with the „👀“ emoji.

TheCakeWarrior122025-12-29 22:03

Monkeypaw intern is just having fun, I would not look too deep into this. Especially since they don’t necessarily work with auteurs anymore (Coogler notwithstanding as he is grandfathered in with the BP movies)

GoForRogue2025-12-29 22:05

Moon Knight film

CruzAderjc2025-12-29 22:08

Nah, watch it be Ant Man 4, and it’s Key and Peele level funny. Which I would also be okay with

0rtmo2025-12-29 22:12

what movie is he doing then

TacoTycoonn2025-12-29 22:12

No shot they’d work this out. Peele would be pretty unflinching with his creative vision.

SoaringSpearow2025-12-29 22:13
