Universal Pictures has released the first official trailer for Him, a psychological horror film produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. The film is directed by Justin Tipping and is scheduled for release later this year.
Him follows the story of Cameron Cade, a young American football player portrayed by Tyriq Withers. After being violently attacked by a fan and suffering a serious injury, Cade’s athletic future appears uncertain. He is later approached by former football star Isaiah White, played by Marlon Wayans, who offers to help him recover and train at his private facility.
As training begins, Cade soon discovers that the methods used are far more extreme than expected. The trailer suggests an increasingly hostile environment, with aggressive drills and psychological pressure, raising concerns about how far Cade will be pushed in pursuit of success.
The film also features Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, MMA fighter Maurice Greene, and musical artists Tierra Whack and Guapdad 4000.
The screenplay for Him was written by Tipping along with Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. The film is produced by Peele alongside Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld, and Jamal M. Watson.
While Peele is not directing, Him continues his work in producing genre films that explore personal and social themes through horror. His previous production credits include Monkey Man and Candyman, which he also co-wrote.
No exact release date has been announced, but the film is expected to arrive in theaters by the end of the year.
