Whenever there’s a horror project with Jordan Peele’s involvement—whether as a director, writer, and/or producer—everyone wants to know about it. Peele is notorious for keeping films under wraps and giving us very little information about what’s coming next. We all went into Nope basically knowing nothing about the film even after its trailers! Now, Jordan Peele is producing HIM, an upcoming psychological horror filmOpens in a new tab set in the world of football starring Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers.
How in the world will this film marry one of America’s biggest sports with terror? We will have to wait and see.

Here’s everything we know about HIM.
Title
Thanks to a new poster release, we know that the title of the film is simply HIM.
HIM’s Plot
The teaser trailer for HIM has now been released, and you cant watch it below.
In addition, we have one brief and intriguing synopsis for HIM and one much longer form description. Be warned that the latter plot synopsis could read a little spoilery.
Brief HIM Synopsis:
HIM centers on a promising young football player (Tyriq Withers), invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team’s aging QB1. The legendary quarterback (Marlon Wayans) takes his protégé on a blood-chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, power and pursuit of excellence at any cost.
In-depth HIM Synopsis:
From Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, producers of the landmark horror films Get Out, Us, Candyman and Nope, comes a chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, idolatry and the pursuit of excellence at any cost, featuringan electrifying dramatic performance from Marlon Wayans (Air, Respect).
HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.
Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.
It seems like Wayans’ character has some strange shenanigans happening at that compound. There’s a lot possible here. He could not be human, or perhaps he’s got some experiments going that were able to enhance his playing ability. Greatness demands sacrifice could mean literal ritualistic sacrifices. We shall see.
