After Watching The Teaser For Him, There’s One Performance I Was Shocked By That I Need To See More Of

Film producer Jordan Peele has a talent for creating horror films that resonate culturally, whether he’s directly involved or not. In his 2025 film titled “Him“, director/co-writer Justin Tipping takes the helm, blending elements of football, body horror, and witchcraft in a tale that promises to be both unsettling and intriguing. One performance in this upcoming horror movie has left me deeply moved, and I’m eagerly anticipating further glimpses into its chilling visuals.

In this project’s summary, Marlon Wayans portrays Isaiah White, an eight-time championship quarterback and cultural icon who is well-known. Instead of going overboard with his energy in the sneak peek Universal Pictures has released, he gives a subtle performance. As White mentors young quarterback Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers) in overcoming a serious injury, you can hear him delivering an encouraging speech that seems like a typical training montage motivational talk.

The situation shifts rapidly from periods of stoic calm interspersed with dramatic outbursts, and even throws in some eerie voice alterations for good measure. If you’re familiar with Marlon Wayans’ work, this style mirrors the territory he often revisits, providing a warm welcome back to his unique approach.

Generally speaking, the humoristic talent of the Wayans is widely recognized through popular films such as the “Scary Movie” series and “White Chicks”. However, it’s worth noting that his abilities extend beyond comedy, particularly in serious dramas like “Requiem for a Dream” and action flicks like “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra”, which should not be overlooked.

By combining that pledge with an intriguing blend of college football culture reminiscent of both “Get Out” and “Ballers”, you’ve definitely piqued my interest. As we all eagerly anticipate the screen, let’s begin the countdown to the release of “Him“, set to premiere theatrically on September 19th – perfectly timed for football season!
