NopeMovie director Jordan Peele comments on the sequel potential for his horror hit GetOut and whether or not there's anything left for it: 'Never say never.'
Nope director Jordan Peele comments on whether or not a Get Out 2 could happen. Peele started out as one half of the comedic Key and Peele duo alongside Keegan-Michael Key, though over the years he has shifted towards directing gripping horror films. Starring Nope's Daniel Kaluuya, Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford, and Allison Williams, Get Out was Peele's directorial debut and was both a critical and financial success.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Get Out follows a Black man who goes to meet his white girlfriend's parents at their remote home. Not long after he arrives, things slowly begin to unravel, and the man's presence ends up having a far more sinister purpose than he could have imagined. The Blumhouse-produced Get Out was a massive hit, earning $255 million worldwide from a $4.5 million budget. It has since gone on to become a modern classic of the genre.
Peele has yet to announce his next project after Nope, but he will be re-teaming with his Key and Peele partner for Henry Selick's stop-motion animation film, Wendell and Wild, which debuts later this year on Netflix. While this means he could arguably turn his attention to a potential Get Out sequel, it seems more likely that Peele will stick with exploring his original ideas for the time being.
It's always difficult to justify a sequel when a film is a big hit, as there's always the fear that it will sully the first film in some way, as has frequently been the case in Hollywood. That's not to say that sequels can't be good, as they often can be. However, it's always a risk, especially if done for the wrong reasons or as a foregone conclusion because the first one was successful.
