The long-awaited trailer for Universal Pictures’ movie titled “HIM” has now been unveiled, offering viewers a peek into an eerie new horror film that delves deep into the unsettling world of stardom, worship, and the relentless chase for perfection no matter the price. Produced by Academy Award-winning Jordan Peele via his Monkeypaw Productions and helmed by emerging director Justin Tipping, the movie promises to be a mind-bending and frightening ride. The film is scheduled for a big-screen premiere on September 19, 2025.

In the plot summary, it’s stated that Tyriq Withers, known from “Atlanta” and the upcoming “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” portrays Cameron Cade, a dedicated quarterback who has made football his life and identity. On the night before the annual NFL scouting Combine, Cam encounters a troubled fan who inflicts a traumatic brain injury that could potentially end his professional career. At a crucial moment, Cam receives a chance at redemption when Isaiah White, an esteemed eight-time Championship quarterback and popular cultural icon (played by Marlon Wayans), invites him to train at Isaiah’s secluded retreat, shared with his celebrity wife Elsie White (Julia Fox, from “Uncut Gems” and “No Sudden Move”). However, as Cam’s training intensifies, Isaiah’s charm starts to transform into something ominous, leading Cam on a disconcerting journey that could cost him more than he ever anticipated.

The movie boasts an engaging ensemble of actors such as Tim Heidecker, known for his work in alternative comedy, Jim Jefferies, Maurice Greene who’s a renowned MMA fighter, rising hip-hop stars Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack (who earned a Grammy nomination). With Jordan Peele on board as a producer, the anticipation is high due to his previous works like Get Out and Us, which are acclaimed for their skillful use of horror to deliver incisive social and psychological insights.
