In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE<\/a>, Key, 55, said he and Peele, 47, have talked about a potential horror collaboration several times. “We talk, I wouldn’t say constantly, but whenever we talk, we talk about it,” Key said.\u00a0However, Key stressed that Peele would not make a project simply because it offered an opportunity to reunite the comedy duo. He described Peele as a “very considered” and careful filmmaker who wants each project to reflect the vision he has developed for the story.<\/p>\n Key said he could imagine Peele eventually calling him with a fully formed idea and explaining how Key’s talents could contribute to it. The pair became household names through Key & Peele<\/a>, their Comedy Central sketch series that ran from 2012 to 2015. Their most recent collaboration came in 2022, when they voiced demon brothers in the stop-motion film “Wendell & Wild”.<\/p>\n Henry Selick, second from left, co-writer and director of the stop-motion animated film “Wendell & Wild,” poses for a portrait with voice cast members Keegan-Michael Key, left, and Lyric Ross, second from right, and co-writer\/co-producer\/cast member Jordan Peele during the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto.

Peele’s work, including ‘Get Out’, ‘Us’ and ‘Nope’, helped him appreciate the genre as a vehicle for original storytelling. That interest is now informing Key’s own career. He voices the sinister unicorn in “Buddy,” a horror-comedy that turns the cheerful world of children’s television into something much darker. The film opened in theaters in late August and has received a positive reception.<\/p>\n A collaboration between the two could therefore represent more than a Key & Peele reunion. It could bring two influential Black entertainers back together on creative terms rather than simply for nostalgia.<\/p>\n More must-reads:<\/p>\n![\"Henry](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/thegrio_yahoo_articles_946\/ce2c46f850e7e6fbcf496bfad3c667ae.jpg\"\/)
