Marvel Studios’ Reported Deal With Jordan Peele is No Longer Functional
Considering the current slate of Marvel Studios being filled with potential projects, Jeff Sneider reported a few days back, how the studio had a meeting with acclimated actor-director Jordan Peele for an upcoming project. Although Sneider didn’t specify which one, OTN recently reported after gathering information from sources that Peele and Marvel met over an upcoming X-Men movie.
However, since the meeting took place a long time ago, and there were no further reports or confirmation about Jordan Peele associating with Marvel, sources revealed that the meeting didn’t work out. Although the insiders confirmed that Peele would likely want to write the script on top of directing, even though this X-Men deal failed, they didn’t reveal the reason behind the fallout.
Speculating the reasons behind Marvel Studios’ breakup with Jordan Peele, the outlet noted that perhaps the actor-director’s vision for the movie didn’t fit with the studio’s demand. Or maybe, Peele didn’t get the creative freedom from Marvel, he prefers when working on a project. Further speculations suggested scheduling issues, with a lot being on Peele’s plate.
