Directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Peele, “Him” chronicles a young football player (Tyriq Withers) who is invited by an aging\u00a0player (Marlon Wayans) to learn about the journey to achieving success by any means necessary. Also starring other noteworthy names like\u00a0Julia Fox,\u00a0Jim Jefferies,\u00a0Akeem Hayes, Tierra Whack and more, this official trailer follows the teaser that was unveiled in April, which itself came just a couple of weeks after initial footage was\u00a0shown during Universal\u2019s CinemaCon presentation.<\/p>\n

While at CinemaCon, Wayans\u00a0jokingly compared “Him” to the 1990s classic “Rudy,” which was shut down completely by Withers. “It\u2019s kinda like ‘Rudy,’ he told the crowd, which led to Withers quipping back, “It\u2019s nothing at all like ‘Rudy.’ As for the official trailer, the comments indicate major excitement. “Marlon Wayans being in this movie is exactly why I love comedic actors in serious roles.\u00a0He totally CRUSHED IT in Requiem for a Dream,” said one YouTube commenter.<\/p>\n

“I still can’t believe we’re getting a sports horror\/thriller movie. Especially a football movie… Can’t wait to check this out!” added another, with one commenter echoing, “If you learn to smile in your worst moments and then you’ll laugh the rest of your days. So simple yet so profound.”<\/p>\n
