Universal and Jordan Peele Board Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ for April Release in Theaters

Insiders say Peele saw the action-thriller — which had been set up at Netflix — and believed it deserved its time to shine on the big screen.

The completed action-thriller — which was previously set up at Netflix — will hit cinemas on April 4, Peele revealed Friday when introducing the first official trailer.

Insiders say Peele had a chance to see the movie, and was so taken with Patel’s vision that he believed it deserved a theatrical release. Universal will market and distribute Monkey Man through its feature film deal with Peele’s Monkeypaw banner. The film has been described as akin to John Wick in Mumbai.

I feel like any film making it off of Netflix’s island of misfit toys is cause for celebration.

Looks pretty dope for a directorial debut.

Before I watched the trailer, I assumed this would be a horror movie due to Peele producing.

The poster made me think that too.

Seems like 2024 is the year everyone from Skins makes their directorial debut. Daniel Kaluuya with The Kitchen and now Dev Patel with this movie

It looks very generic. Cue rap song right when action starts and punches sync with the beat.

Before I watched the trailer, I assumed this would be a horror movie due to Peele producing.

Instead, it's like an Indian-style John Wick.

This looks super fun! I’m so glad Dev gets to make the film he wants

Wow this was completely off my radar until now, but that trailer looked incredible. I've been a fan of Dev Patel ever since Slumdog Millionaire and Skins and its about time he got his next BIG breakout moment.

Kudos to Jordan Peele for getting this a theatrical release too.

Nice to see it getting great reviews. Hope it does really well when it's released in theaters.
