The first trailer for Jordan Peele's Us follow-up Nope has arrived ahead of its debut at the Super Bowl. Peele, who was previously known for his work on the sketch comedy series Key & Peele, is now one of the most critically acclaimed horror directors working today. After releasing his debut directorial feature Get Out, the writer-director scored the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his meditation on racism and neo-liberalism. Now, Peele is set to return this year with an extremely mysterious project titled Nope and, save for the cast and a poster, not much is known about the film.
Nope will star The Walking Dead alum Steven Yeun, Hustlers actress Keke Palmer, and Daniel Kaluuya, the latter of whom starred in Get Out and earned a Best Actor nomination for his performance. The first footage of Nope debuted in a video previewing the trailer of the movie. The trio of actors shown in the video looked terrified, but the teaser was an exercise in restraint as no details were revealed about the plot of Nope, which is set to release this July.

Now, Peele and Universal have debuted the first Nope trailer ahead of its debut at the Super Bowl. The video is heavy on setup and light on plot as it introduces Palmer and Kaluuya's characters, who appear to be ranchers of some sort. The Nope trailer has a distinctly western aesthetic, showing Palmer's character as the descendant of prominent Black Hollywood horse trainers. From there, things get weird as the desert setting becomes the sight of some truly strange happenings. Check out the Nope trailer below:
