We took one look at ‘Nope’ star Brandon Perea’s Instagram, and all we have to say is, “YEP!”
Nope. And honestly? We can’t get to the cinema fast enough.The sci-fi horror is Peele’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2019’s somewhat divisive (and, ultimately, under-appreciated—justice for Lupita Nyong’o!) Us and 2017’s zeitgeist-defining, Oscar-winning Get Out.
The star of the latter, Daniel Kaluuya, reunites with the writer-director in Nope, and is joined by Keke “Queen of Memes” Palmer and Minari‘s Steve Yeun.But there’s one more, lesser known star in Nope—one who’s already got fans raving, even before they’ve seen the film: Brandon Perea.
It’s not hard to understand why. A post shared by Brandon Perea (@brandonperea)Now, Perea didn’t exactly come out of nowhere.
The Chicago-born, 27 year-old Filipino actor has been working steadily for the past decade, most notably in Netflix‘s trippy series The OA (gone too soon—justice for Brit Marling!).
