Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Peele said he plans to begin shooting a new project at the end of this year.

"My next film, I am currently writing it and I'll direct for Universal this year, I'm just trying to entertain myself again," Peele said. "One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favorite. That's my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one."

Peele also recently revealed the role offering that made him retire from being an actor during the Directors Guild of America awards ceremony.

"I was offered the role of Poop — this is true," Peele said. "I would not make this up. I was offered the role of Poop; I was like, 'That’s fu**ed up.' I told my manager, 'That's fu**ed up, let me sleep on it.' I came back the next day, I said, 'Well, what are they offering?' And they said, 'Oh, well they've already given it to Sir Patrick Stewart.' I was like, 'F**k this.' That's a true story."

Get Out has received four Oscar nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya. Peele is now the fifth black director to ever be nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science for the Best Director award. The first black director to ever receive the nomination was John Singleton for Boyz n the Hood. After Singleton there was Lee Daniels for Precious (2009), Steve McQueen for 12 Years a Slave (2013), and Barry Jenkins for Moonlight (2017).
