Adrenaline junkies, come out and play-aaah! Let’s watch the trailer for Dev Patel’s Monkey Man together ’cause its got more heatwaves than a car chase in a desert. Here’s the twist: Patel isn’t just the hero on-screen; he’s also the mastermind behind the lens, and it looks like he absolutely smashed it.
Patel plays Kid, the man in the monkey mask who is fist-blasting his opps in a shadowy fight club. It’s like he’s summoning his inner Hanuman, the Hindu monkey deity known for his might and mettle. And from what we can see, this man goes to John Wick levels for vengeance against whoever tripped up and screwed him over.
Even better, Patel’s martial arts game is locked and loaded. He’s a black belt in Taekwondo, so we’re expecting some spine-chilling, jaw-rattling action that goes far above trailer hype. Plus, we’ve got Jordan Peele getting his hands bloody as a producer of his first action epic. Dev Patel is already talking about how stoked he is to blend his childhood tales with his passion for action movies. And it shows.
Can we make a playdate for April 5th? Monkey Man looks like it’s gonna kickstart Dev Patel as an action hero. Can’t wait to see it
