Jordan Peele-Produced Sports Horror Flick ‘Him' Debuts Trailer With Tyriq Withers, Marlon Wayans
The debut trailer for the 2025 release gives a scattered picture of the film's plot, which finds young football player Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers) attempting to recover after being attacked by a deranged fan, resulting in a brain injury. With his career and lifelong dream on the line, retired football legend Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans) steps in to offer his services in getting the rising star back in shape — both physically and mentally — using some unconventional and dangerous methods hinted at within the 1:44 teaser.
'Talent is how hard you're willing to work,' Wayans emotes. ''I'm never good enough' — that's how great people think. So you're going to have to ask yourself, 'What am I willing to sacrifice?''
Check it out above.
The Universal Pictures release is directed by Justin Tipping and co-star's Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Akeem Hayes and Tierra Whack. The flick debuted its first footage at CinemaCon earlier this month, THR reports. Peele's fellow Monkey Paw producers include Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld and Jamal Watson. The screenplay was handled by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. Check out the official synopsis below:
'HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football's annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.
'Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.'

‘Meet the Parents 4' will officially be titled ‘Focker In-Law'
The fourth installment of the 'Meet the Parents' film franchise will officially be titled 'Focker In-Law.' Universal Pictures announced the news Monday in an Instagram post, which also confirmed that the film will be released on Thanksgiving 2026. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson will all return to reprise their characters. Ariana Grande will also be joining the cast, although details about her character have yet to be announced. 'The Focker family is expanding,' the caption for the post – which was also shared by Stiller and Grande's Instagram accounts – read. The first 'Meet the Parents' film was released in 2000, with 2004's 'Meet the Fockers' and 2010's 'Little Fockers' sequels following. The films follow Greg Focker (Stiller), a nurse from Chicago, and his partner Pam (Polo) as he navigates milestones in their relationship while dealing with her overprotective former CIA agent father Jack (De Niro), leading to plenty of hilarious awkward moments along the way. Plot points and details about 'Focker In-Law,' which will be directed by 'Little Fockers' producer John Hamburg, have not yet been released. An announcement from Universal also revealed that 'Booksmart' star Beanie Feldstein will also be featured in the cast. Stiller, Polo and De Niro reunited in June at a Tribeca Film Festival screening of 'Meet the Parents' to mark the film's 25th anniversary, where Stiller teased what audiences can expect for the upcoming sequel. 'What spurred the idea is that I'm the age that Bob was when we did the first movie,' he said, according to Variety. 'It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family.' Although they stayed mum on details, De Niro teased that he'd already read the screenplay at the time. 'The script is really fun,' he said. 'I'm looking forward to it.'
