HIM (2025): Cast, Plot, Trailer, Release Date & Streaming – Jordan Peele’s Twisted Take on Sports Horror Will Haunt You On and Off the Field

HIM (2025): Jordan Peele’s Sports Horror Thriller Is a Mind Game You Won’t SurviveÂ đŸ˜ˆđŸ”„


"What would you sacrifice... to become the greatest of all time?"


From the twisted genius of Jordan Peele and his boundary-pushing studio Monkeypaw Productions comes a genre-bending psychological thriller that collides the glory of American football with the terror of obsession, idolatry, and manipulation.

This fall, prepare to step into HIM, a horror-sports hybrid like no other. With Marlon Wayans in a career-redefining role and Tyriq Withers as the rising star quarterback on the edge of superstardom—and sanity—this is the movie that’ll keep you thinking long after the final whistle.


🎬 Release Date: September 19, 2025

đŸŽŸïž Streaming: Coming to Peacock post-theatrical window (TBD)đŸ‡ș🇾

In Theaters (U.S.): Distributed by Universal Pictures

📡 International: Expected rollout via Universal’s global partners


🧠 Premise: Fame, Power & a Pact with the Devil


Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers) is a college football phenom with dreams of NFL glory. But on the eve of the Combine—the gateway to pro stardom—he’s brutally attacked by a deranged fan, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury and shattered hopes.


When all seems lost, Cameron is offered salvation by his idol: Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), an eight-time Championship quarterback, legend of the game, and a god among men. Isaiah invites Cam to recover and train at his isolated, high-tech compound, far from the world’s eyes
 and far from its rules.


But what begins as a mentorship turns dark fast. As Isaiah’s grindset spirals into god complex, and his influencer wife Elsie (Julia Fox) throws fuel on the fire, Cam finds himself in a psychological game where performance isn’t just demanded—it’s worshipped. And the price? Possibly his body. Definitely his soul.

“You wanna be the greatest, Cam? Then you gotta kill who you are
 and become HIM.” – Isaiah White

🏈 Cast: Legends, Newcomers & Wildcards


đŸ”„ Marlon Wayans as Isaiah White


In his most chilling role to date, Wayans sheds his comedy persona to become a manipulative, obsessive icon—equal parts messiah and monster. Isaiah isn’t just a mentor. He’s a cult leader.


🌟 Tyriq Withers as Cameron Cade


Withers gives a breakout performance as a young man torn between his dream and the nightmare it becomes. His descent into Isaiah’s world is both terrifying and tragic.


💄 Julia Fox as Elsie White


Isaiah’s wife, a glamorous influencer with secrets of her own. Is she a prisoner, a player—or the one really pulling the strings?


🎭 Supporting Cast Includes:


  • Tim Heidecker (dark comedy meets dark horror)

  • Jim Jefferies (bringing unexpected tension and grit)

  • Naomi Grossman, GiGi Erneta, Norman Towns

  • And three bold film debuts:

    • MMA fighter Maurice Greene

    • Rapper Guapdad 4000

    • Grammy-nominated Tierra Whack


đŸŽ„ The Peele Playbook: Horror With a Message


Like Get Out, Us, Candyman, and Nope, HIM uses horror to unmask society. This time, the focus is on:

  • đŸ’Ș Toxic masculinity in sports

  • 🧠 Mental health and the cost of excellence

  • 🙏 Worship culture and fame as religion

  • đŸ•łïž Power dynamics in mentorship

  • ⚰ The fine line between discipline and death cult


Director Justin Tipping (Kicks) helms the story with a razor-sharp visual style and haunting pace. The Black List-approved script by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie plunges into the darkest corners of ambition.

đŸŽŒ The eerie score by Bobby Krlic (Midsommar) and chilling cinematography by Kira Kelly (Queen Sugar) make this a full-body experience.


đŸ©ž Not Just a Thriller—A Horror of the Soul

“He’s not training you, Cam. He’s transforming you.” – Elsie White

HIM isn’t about the game. It’s about what the game demands. The quiet cult of GOAT worship. The body as sacrifice. The mind as currency. The terrifying idea that to become the best, you might have to leave humanity behind.

By the final act, reality, dreams, and ritual blur. And Cameron must decide whether chasing greatness is worth becoming someone—something—else.


đŸ”„ Why You Can’t Miss “HIM”


  • For Peele fans: Think Whiplash meets Get Out with the psychological horror of Hereditary

  • For sports fans: The pressure of the Combine, training montages, and elite performance with a hellish twist

  • For thriller junkies: Twists, hallucinations, and cultish control at every turn

  • For drama lovers: Marlon Wayans gives the performance of a lifetime


🏁 Final Whistle: Will You Watch or Be Watched?


In a world where greatness is everything, how far would you go to be HIM?

Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw are asking that question loud—and the answer might haunt your dreams.


📆 Catch HIM in theaters September 19, 2025.đŸ–„ïž Streaming on Peacock (date TBA).

 you’re never the same."
