Jordan Peele’s Past Movies Suggest Nope’s Aliens Are Tricking You
Nopeis shaping up to be one of the most enigmatic films that director Jordan Peele has worked on. Beyond the reveal of a UFO as the film’s central plot point, very little has been unveiled about the intentions of the interstellar visitors. If they’re even from outer space at all. Despite framing the alien presence as something sinister in Nope, Peele’s past movies suggest that not all is as it seems and the director could be tricking the audience.
Nope is the title of Peele's third movie as a writer and director. While the first trailer gave very little away, subsequent promos have confirmed suspicions that it revolves around a UFO encounter. OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) and his sister, Emerald Hope (Keke Palmer), try to get UFO evidence on film at their family ranch, while the flying saucer seemingly terrorizes a local town. It’s a classic setup, and while audiences know Peele for creating iconic villains, they also know him for subverting expectations.

Peele's feature directorial debut, Get Out, immediately made it clear something weird was going on, but it wasn’t until the third act that he pulled the rug out and revealed the Armitages as the true villains of the story. In Us, Peele tricked the audience again, revealing Lupita Nyong’o’s character, Adelaide, as the original tethered clone. If Peele follows in that tradition, it’s unlikely that he has a straightforward plot lined up in Nope. Perhaps the aliens’ intentions might not even be all that bad.
