Say what you want U.S‘turn to full-on Twilight Zone at the end, but Jordan Peele still maintains an undeniably good batting average for his directorial roles. Now we still don’t know what his next will be about, but it seems we know at least one person who will be in it: According to Collider‘s sources, Keke Palmer will play “the female lead of the movie” and could even be the villain.
Collider says Palmer has officially joined the cast, but other cast rumors are circulating – most notably regarding Daniel Kaluuya (star of Peele’s Get out) and Jesse Plemons (star of everything else) – are less certain. As for Palmer, she showed up relatively recently Hustlers and does voices in Disney + ‘s Proud family revival and Netflix’s Big mouth spin-off Human ResourcesAlso, Collider points out that she appeared on Key & Peele in 2013 and tweeted back in September that she had the chance to talk to Peele and declare that he is “so cool.” Details would be nice whether they are about how cool it is or what this movie is about, whatever. It is well. (Although, for the record, never telling anyone beforehand what his movies are about has resulted in diminishing returns for Christopher Nolan. Peele has to keep that in mind.)
