Keke Palmer’s Netflix Hit Sets Stage for Epic Lineup: From Keanu Reeves to Eddie Murphy Collabs

by

Currently, it’s an exhilarating period for movie enthusiasts as numerous talented actors in their 20s and 30s are demonstrating A-list caliber performances – from Timothée Chalamet to Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Sydney Sweeney, and many more. While I admire all these individuals, it’s essential to recognize Keke Palmer as a standout among them. Despite being part of the group of child stars who returned to the spotlight, Palmer has an impressive lineup of significant and captivating projects on the horizon that solidify her status as one of the most promising young actresses in Hollywood.

This year, Keke Palmer captivated audiences in the movie “One Of Them Days” alongside SZA. Notably, this comedy brought in a staggering $51 million globally on a production budget of just $14 million. Given that viewers were seeking a strong comedic start to their year, I believe it’s safe to say that Keke Palmer was a significant draw for the film. Moreover, women like Keke Palmer who are making waves in the industry are hard to come by.

I Can’t Get Over How Funny Keke Palmer Is In One Of Them Days

Leaving the cinema after watching “One Of Them Days” in January, I was filled with joy. Critics seemed to love it just as much, and I thoroughly enjoyed the buddy comedy between Palmer and SZA. I can see myself rewatching it when I need a good laugh, as there aren’t many female buddy comedies like this one. The film solidified that Palmer certainly has charm, contradicting her character’s assertion that she lacks it. Despite their tough circumstances, the down-and-out best friends hilariously scrambled to find their rent in a short amount of time.

At the tail-end of March, I found myself among those fortunate enough to have a Netflix subscription, and there, nestled amidst the vast library, was a movie that immediately caught my eye. To my delight, as the month unfolded, it ascended to the summit of Netflix’s top 10 chart, solidifying its position as one of the most-watched streamed films at present. The icing on the cake? The film’s popularity is a testament to its well-deserved status.

Next, Palmer Is Set To Keep Her ‘Good Fortune’ In A Comedy Alongside Keanu Reeves And Seth Rogen

In recognition of Keke Palmer achieving significant success in comedy, which is challenging in today’s Hollywood scene, I took the initiative to explore her upcoming projects, and let me tell you, I was far from disappointed! Despite having a past associated with Nickelodeon and more recently becoming a first-time mother, Keke Palmer continues to push herself and remains in high demand for what’s next on her plate.

In October 2025, Aziz Ansari’s upcoming film “Good Fortune,” one of the year’s comedies, is set for release. This movie, penned and helmed by Ansari, features the talented Maya Rudolph along with Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Sandra Oh. Could this be a comeback for comedy on the big screen for Rudolph? Definitely seems like it!

To put it simply, in the movie “Good Fortune,” Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani’s characters exchange bodies with an angel named Gabriel, portrayed by Keanu Reeves. This body swap is used to demonstrate to one of the struggling men that money can’t fix all his problems. The story then unfolds as Gabriel loses his wings, leading to a series of chaotic events. I’m really looking forward to this!

She’s Also Going To Team Up With Eddie Murphy For A Movie!!

A new project that Palmer is working on features her teaming up with comedy icon, Eddie Murphy. This upcoming film, titled “The Pickup“, is directed by the same person behind “The Blackening” and the “Ride Along” movies. It’s an Amazon Prime production that also includes Pete Davidson and Eva Longoria, so it promises to be a hilarious watch. I can’t wait to see their chemistry together!

I’m Also Hyped For The Filmmaker She’s Working With On An Upcoming Sci-Fi Comedy

As a film enthusiast myself, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon learning that Keke Palmer will grace our screens as the leading lady in Boots Riley’s upcoming production, “I Love Boosters.” This star-studded cast includes Demi Moore, LaKeith Stanfield, Naomi Ackie, Eiza González, Poppy Liu, Taylour Paige, and Will Poulter. From what I’ve gathered, the film revolves around a band of cunning shoplifters who aim to plunder a fashion icon.

Now, if you recall, Boots Riley directed the mind-bending and captivating “Sorry To Bother You” back in 2018. Given Palmer’s exceptional performance in Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” it’s truly heartening to see her taking on more challenging roles in auteur projects, while also making time for lighthearted comedies. She’s a versatile talent who deserves the range that her career is currently offering!

And, She Also Signed On For A Remake Of One Of My Favorite Weird ‘80s Movies

Not only are those projects thrilling on their own, according to a Variety report from September, Palmer has also agreed to appear in a remake of “The Burbs” for Peacock. While it may not be one of the most well-known ’80s films, I used to enjoy the original “The Burbs” movie, which starred Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, and Corey Feldman, due to its unique, dark humor.

If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, it revolves around residents in a suburban community becoming increasingly suspicious that their neighbors might be involved in ritualistic killings. While Palmer is known for crafting unique narratives not derived from existing properties, I’m eagerly anticipating her take on this familiar tale, as I believe she has the talent to bring humor (or even more humor) to a classic comedy in this genre.

I’m So Just Happy Keke Palmer Is Becoming A Bona Fide Movie Star Now, As She Should

haven’t I made it clear that Keke Palmer is currently shining brightly? As of yet, I can’t predict which of her upcoming films will be successful and which might not, but her growing list of projects certainly indicates how much of a star she has become. It seems that the public should acknowledge Keke Palmer as a major talent now, as it feels like she is just beginning to receive the recognition she deserves!
