The Internet Thinks Jordan Peele Is Creating A Shared Cinematic Universe With 'Get Out' And 'Us'
While Us, the upcoming thriller from Get Out filmmaker Jordan Peele, is not nominally a sequel to [...]

"I've put some Easter Eggs in there and I'll probably continue to weave in the universe in my next movie."
Looking back at my interview with @JordanPeele for GET OUT.
Are US and GET OUT in same universe? I've watched the US trailer 7 times looking for clues. Incredible trailer. pic.twitter.com/pafl0cKwYB

Probably the most compelling evidence for a shared universe within Jordan Peele's movies comes from Kevin McCarthy, a film journalist who talked to Peele about Get Out and got the following quote:
"I've put some Easter Eggs in there and I'll probably continue to weave in the universe in my next movie."
As you can see above, McCarthy chimed in with the video clip from that interview when the Us trailer dropped.
prevnext"Messed up Events"
Why do I have a feeling that Get Out & Us exist in the same universe. Like there’s there’s this entire universe of just messed up events taking place.

We love the idea of these horrifying things just being called "messed up events." We can't help it.
prevnextMIND. BLOWN.
There are some wild theories for Jordan Peele's new movie Us. The best one I read was that its low key a sequel to Get Out & that the family is actually white people in their new bodies and the family coming to get them is the original family escaped from the sunken place. WHAT. pic.twitter.com/sZ2PCIBtQ7

This one would be bascially akin to the reveal at the end of Split, when you found out it was secretly a stealth sequel to Unbreakable.
prevnextWho knew rabbits would be the giveaway?
Opening scene of ‘Get Out’ plays a song called ‘Run Rabbit Run’. The trailer for ‘Us’ features rabbits prominently. Shared universe? pic.twitter.com/QJrNTcJFC3

...Can't help but wonder if maybe Jordan Peele's next movie will be a riff on Of Mice and Men.
prevnextI'll Go you one better...
“Us”, “Get Out”, and that one clown torture skit from Key and Peele are all in the same universe.

Bonus points for tying in Key & Peele. In a believable way, even!
prevnextThe Long Road to Terror
By now I’m sure we’ve all seen the shared imagery between “Get Out” and “Us”.....something about that long road to terror pic.twitter.com/6WoDEMyRiG

Okay, so maybe this one is a little more obvious than the others -- but we're just gonna say right now that if this really is a shared universe, it should literally be called "The Long Road to Terror."
prevnextMarvel don't own "What If..."
What if Chris Washington from Get Out arrives to save the family in #UsMovie?

...Once again, that would be some Split-style craziness.

Both Georgina in Get Out and Lupita in #Us have a creepy laughing scene....#UsTrailer ? pic.twitter.com/Z9Gji0mqFL

This isn't too profound, but we just like the observation.
prevnextWho even cares?
Why does everyone care so much about whether or not Get Out and “Us” are in the same ‘cinematic universe’? Ofc “Us” is gonna have references to Get Out, they’re both made by Jordan Peele but not everything has to be interconnected ffs

This is a fair take -- except that it's just fun to speculate, Johnny. It doesn't have to be true, but at this point why not entertain the notion?
prevnextIt's all Kevin Feige's fault.
Just wondering if Us is set in the same universe as Get Out. Thanks Marvel, I'm looking for continuality in everything now.
