Oscar-winner Jordan Peele has made quite the name for himself in the horror genre with Get Out and US. We’ll be seeing a lot more of in the future. Deadline is reporting that Peele’s company Monkeypaw Productions has signed a “five-year exclusive production partnership” with Universal Pictures. Under the new deal, Universal will develop Pelle’s next two films which he will write, direct, and produce. Peele’s latest project is the Candyman movie, currently filming, which he both co-wrote and is producing. Peele has recently teased that his next film will be scarier than both Get Out and Us.

Months after it was announced that Jordan Peele will be making the “spiritual sequel” to Candyman with Aquaman actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II set to star, fans are still concerned that Tony Todd, who made the character Candyman iconic, wouldn’t be reprising his role as the supernatural killer.
