Jordan Peele has revealed the name of his third feature as a director, and we now know that it will be simply calledNope. On Thursday, Peele tweeted an image of the movie’s official poster, though he offered no further explanation. Along with the names of three cast members, the titleNopecan be seen in all-caps popping on the poster. The release date of July 19, 2025 — exactly one year from today — is also shown at the bottom, along with the promise that it will be released only in theaters.
Peele’s name is at the top of the poster which describes the new movie as “a new terror from the mind of Academy Award winner Jordan Peele.” Also revealed are the main cast members withNopestarring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, andSteven Yeun.

For his role in Lee Isaac Chung’s acclaimed dramaMinari, Yeun was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, becoming the first Asian-American actor to receive the honor.
Jordan Peelehas always been very tight-lipped about his projects prior to release, so we may not hear much else aboutNopein the near future. What we know is that Peele wrote the script and serves as director and producer. Ian Cooper of Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions is also producing. Senior VP of production Sara Scott and creative executive Tony Ducret will oversee the project for Universal.
Previously best known for his work in comedy before becoming a movie director, Peele made his directorial debut in 2017 with the critical hitGet Out. Earning Peele an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, the movie’s success instantly established him as a filmmaker to be taken seriously in Hollywood, despite his comedy background. His follow-upUssimilarly found great success when it was released in 2019, impressing critics and pulling in tremendous profits at the box office.
Nopeis scheduled to be released in theaters on June 21, 2025. There’s no telling when Peele will be divulging any new information with a full year left to go until the movie’s premiere. The new poster comes to us fromJordan Peele.
