Thriller "Us" Puts Lupita Nyong'o Front and Center of Shocking Tale

Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o stars in Universal Pictures’ new horror thriller Us, playing the film’s central character is Adelaide Wilson, a woman hiding an inexplicable childhood trauma from her past.  She discovers that her attempts to push down and suppress the incident now threatens to destroy not only herself, but her husband and her children.

For such an expansive and complex dual role, director-writer Jordan Peele and his fellow filmmakers quickly turned to Nyong’o.

"Black Panther's" M'Baku Winston Duke a Goofy Dad in "Us" (Now Showing)

He’s best known for playing the fan-favorite character M’Baku, leader of the Jabari Tribe and eventual valuable ally to King T’Challa in Black Panther.  Now, Winston Duke stars in Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed thriller, Us. 

“The film is about an American family trying to live the perfect American dream, and then realizing that the American dream is perilous, insecure and unsustainable,” says Duke, who plays Gabe Wilson. “I look at the American dream as another character in this film that succumbs to the dangers of the horror-thriller genre and becomes a hapless victim.”

Elisabeth Moss (Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale) stars as Kitty Tyler, a “perfect” wife and mother but who finds herself grappling with deep undercurrents of unrest and anger, in Universal Pictures’ new horror thriller Us.

“Kitty is a woman who we’ve all known or met at some point: someone who has a really good life but feels like she never got to be who she wanted to be,” Moss says about her role. “Because of her children or because of getting married or whatever she’s blaming it on, she never got to achieve her personal goals, and she’s very bitter about that.”
