Jordan Peele Reacts To The Internet's Us Fan Theories

Us has been terrifying moviegoers and taking the box office by storm since it debuted.


Because of its layered storytelling and symbolism within, it's also been a preference topic of discussion for viewers willing to dissect every little segment of it. There's no doubt once you visualize it you'll come away with a lot of questions, and that's what fans are looking to answer.


In an interview with ET Online, Peele talked some of the craziest Us theories he's heard since the horrifying flick was unleashed on the masses. And if you're out there writing them, know that Jordan himself is probably reading them!


"There are some crazy ones," Peele mentioned. "I saw one today where someone offered that the ambulance motif was somehow related to me playing the EMT in Little Fockers, which was my first scene in a film." Peele played a little part in the 2010 flick, nevertheless he was tight-lipped on whether or not that theory is true.


"I will neither confirm nor deny that my Little Fockers EMT guy is being referenced in Us," he mentioned as an alternative. And here we thought we were on to something.


there really are even crazier theories than that, though. Peele didn't comment on this particular story thread, nevertheless there really are a couple of that certainly make sense. At the end of the movie (spoiler alert!) it appears the Wilson family member is safe from all of the trouble the doppelgängers wreaked upon their family member while in their vacation.


Nevertheless, in the ambulance, as Adelaide (Lupita Nyong'o) smiles at her son Jason (Evan Alex), her grin has an eerie tone. Fans theorize that the beat in the background sounds a little like Michael Jackson's "Thriller," in which the music video ends with a similar reveal. The song is also heard at the starting of the movie. So it appears the family member might not be safe immediately after all...Which sucks.


there really are a few other theories floating around on the world wide web, particularly on Reddit. Although it looks like, aside from reading over them from time to time, Peele is content to sit back and grin about what people think about his latest creation. And if the movie is this layered, we can't wait to be able to see what he has in store with his revival of The Twilight Zone.


Us is in theaters now.
