The action thriller Monkey Man will soon be arriving on a streaming service and to own at home on digital. Monkey Man is the breakout hit from the Oscar-nominated Dev Patel, who pulls double-duty as director and star, and he also wrote the screenplay with Paul Angunawela and John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World). This is the first film directed by Patel, who headlined films such as Slumdog Millionaire and The Green Knight. As with the majority of feature films from Universal Pictures, Monkey Man will find itself on Peacock after its theatrical run is over, and we now have details on its premiere on the streaming service, along with its digital and physical release.
