An Oscar-winning director crafting a horror/superhero project is in demand

Without a doubt, Jordan Peele is one of the most gifted filmmakers in the realm of modern cinema. Specifically, Peele has made himself a household name in the horror genre, mastering the elements of fear and changing the entire spooky landscape.

It’s certainly not much of a secret that the superhero landscape has been suffering lately, with MCU projects continuing to dip in popularity and income — leading to Disney to even push back several projects. That being said, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum has insisted that the “superhero fatigue” being experienced is a driving force as to why horror has kicked up in popularity over the last few years. This could be true, it could be not, but one thing is for certain — we do love our horror.
