Should Peele sign on for Akira, it would be fantastic news for the project as a director would mean that Warners could finally get working on the production.
Peele could also be a good choice thanks to his proven ability to handle sensitive issues of race.
Get Out was Peele’s directorial debut, and has been an unqualified success.
Of course, this is still unconfirmed by Warner Bros,, and even if Peele is in talks to direct the film, he has yet to officially sign on to the project.
