Dev just seems like such a good dude. This movie looks like it was made with love and not just thrown together.

[@reemarimz6830]

There was an interview somewhere suggesting he isn't very nice to people below him. But maybe he is always pleasant with his peers. Anyways it isn't confirmed either cause people can bluff. Only way to know is actually interacting with him in a social setting with no cameras present

[@twittertwice]

Duh!

[@shahzadirani]

Saw the movie last night - the action sequences were breathtaking and the movie was intense.

[@SwerveNation]

If u come across that interview pls link it to me​@@reemarimz6830

[@paulmaloney4387]

The movies called Monkey Man? Then how come they have 2 goats doing press for it?

[@KillerTacos54]

Haha nice one

[@bokoya8396]

Nope..there are definitely two monkeys there

[@anildamodaran]

❤

[@PeakSight-kv6wi]

@bokoya8396💀

[@twittertwice]

Hee hee ....

[@willienelsongonzalez4609]

For Jordan Peele to openly say that Monkey Man is one of his favourite movies is without a doubt one heck of a flex! Well done to Dev Patel for obviously putting his heart and soul into this movie.

[@krusnik94]

Dev Patel straight up said "Fine, I'll do it myself"

[@Beluga_Too]

fr 10 years of everything

[@Whatdocowsdrink]

These are the films audiences are in need of. Hearing Dev wrote and directed this and Jordan Peel produced it was an automatic watch for me. I’ll watch anything Jordan Peele produces on film and Dev Patel hit this out of the park.

[@Leprutz]

Peele did not produce it. He just bought the movie off of Netflix, cause he said it needs a theatre release. And right he was.

[@kaMiKazeT12]

To produce a movie really only means to invest in it whether it's financially or through creative approval. Jordan's name holds weight so he basically allows ppl to use his name to advertise films...nothing too impressive about that lol

[@amallibeckham2726]

Dev is so articulate and beautifully brilliant. Already purchased my ticket... April 5th. I became a Dev Patel fan after watching the film Lion. Mr. Peele, thanks for helping to bring this film to the big screen. ❤

[@betterine]

Yes! Lion was great! Underrated film imo

[@Nikki-bo8to]

Me tooo!!!! Been in love with dev since Lion came out 🤣

[@cosm0850]

Was it good?

[@cam23417]

This made me so emotional! Dev is my favorite actor. Seeing how Jordan, someone I admire so much, backed him up, gave him support when he needed it the most, has made my day. I am so excited to see Dev in these new roles as screen writer, director!

[@TheCarlScharnberg]

I love this pairing. Dev is such a great actor, and Jordan is a wonderful director. I am SO glad - and proud - that Jordan continuously uses his platform and status/power to put other black and brown people on like this. Such a good dude.

[@darkreaper4990]

YEAH, makes me respect him a lot. very few people with integrity in hollywood.

[@gnarwhal7562]

Apparently the Gordy scene in Nope is a very personal one to Jordan Peele. We follow a chimpanzee on a rampage, lashing out at the studio exploiting him, ending tragically with Gordy being shot in a state of confusion. One can read Gordy as being a stand-in for Jordan himself, and how the industry has taken advantage of him and other marginalized actors over the years. With that in mind, I have a profound respect for how he's elevating fellow creators with his position in the film industry. Providing a chance for the voiceless to finally make a sound

[@heeragul1132]

Agreeeed

[@sillyladtan]

Can't wait for this film!!! I hope we see Dev Patel in the next Jordan Peele film, would be cool if he co-stared with Daniel Kaluuya too, as a sort of full circle moment since they were in Skins together when they were kids

[@tgyygg373]

What a power house!

[@gnarwhal7562]

I got an ad for the trailer of Monkey Man awhile back watching KZbin. Normally I roll my eyes and wait for my opportunity to click the skip button, but I was pulled in right away by it. I'm so glad that happened, because I don't think I would have known about this movie otherwise (and it's already one of my favourites of the year). Hats off to Dev Patel and his team. They did a phenomenal job

[@sharon21924]

This is exactly what happened for me as well. 😂 saw the youtube ad and so glad I never skipped. Saw the film yesterday and I’ve never been so impressed with not only the acting and action but the cinematography as well. I do hope he wins awards for this one.

[@jefftravis3808]

Just saw it today on a quality RPX screen and the movie was bonkers great! Patel did one whale of a job along w/ his co-writers and a fantastic crew of largely Indian actors and production crews who clearly know how to do full-blown action flick. Patel is just as great in the lead.

[@K.C-2049]

it is absolutely bonkers to think of Dev's role in Skins way back when and how far he's come. didn't know about this film til this interview popped up in my recommended with these two legends, but I'll have to check it out!

[@acrothetics]

and the fact that the character chris in skins, played by joe dempsie, often referred to himself as the "monkey man". haha.

[@sewgeekdesigns9113]

You know Jordan Is gonna mentor him. And his next film is gonna be even more awesome

[@RedDevil_Joe]

Jordan Peele making his way through working with the Skins cast 👍

[@cloutclaudiuscharles2597]

Jordan just went gray but hasn’t aged in any other way idk why I find that funny

[@Nnny792fhgf34]

Hahah i was just thinking why isn’t anyone commenting on the soundtracks and arrangement in the movie. So it was Jordan who arranged it. It was insanely good.

[@twittertwice]

No, Jordan didnt arrange it. Dev arranged it and Poole offered a couple of strategic suggestions... Dev agreed worked better.

[@undercookedtoast1479]

Jed kurzel actually did most of the score, which was another hook that got me interested since i was familiar with his work on Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth. Both great movies with fantastic scores.

[@superduperpriya]

The story, the action, the cinematography everything looks so fresh and beautiful. I'm rushing to the theatre as soon as it releases

[@p_ttown1979]

peele opening the floor for patel to potentially star in one of his films is a fine moment

[@twittertwice]

that's not his role with Monkey Man

[@vishampertaub9516]

Jordan Peele is a wonderful director Wonderful writer

[@globalcitizenn]

Dev’s tall, lean, gangly swagger & intensity of acting reminds me of a young Amitabh Bachchan in his “angry young man” phase

[@kreativekollective5284]

I agree

[@aishwarya2426]

Amitabh wishes

[@JakeBodenhamer]

They're both so chill.

[@minx8699]

Who knew Dev had this in him?...Can't wait to watch and re watch

[@oregonxl]

Its so rad to see actors jumping in the seat and making stuff they would like to see themselves.

[@sakura9731]

Dev is so down to earth. His eyes and emotions seem so genuine

Looking forward to more from Patel, both as an actor and director. Hat's off to Peele for how he's changing what we see as entertainment. I don't do theatres anymore, but I will buy it when it streams.

[@ksinha88]

Mark my words. Dev Patel will be one of the greatest actors in the world with Oscars to his name. Where there is will, determination, perseverance and a never give up attitude, there is NOTHING in this world that can stop you. This guy will go down as one of the legends of cinema!!!

[@Tac0maAr0ma]

Two of the best in the biz.

[@jessicabundrige6571]

This movie is awesome and timely and carry’s so much depth. It touches everything right and wrong with the world in general while still being highly entertaining. I hope he only gets better. I love how everything and every person of quality aligned to get this done. Brilliant.

[@TheDrewDella]

Literally awesome movie. Everyone should watch. Can’t wait to see what he directs next.

[@Sielose]

I just came out of the movie, i liked it very much. i see it as more than just an action flick, but because of that reason, I also learned that I need to learn/know more about Indian culture :)

[@whatthekale]

I went to see this movie in theaters last night and was blown away when at the credits I saw Directed and Writen by Dev Patel. It was such a good movie. Definitely recommend.

[@user-jv5kl6im2k]

This movie was amazing! I’m a huge action fan since the 80’s and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The culture, story and amazing action. Thanks for all the work put into this film, loved it !

[@VirginiaYoung-ty4kv]

Incredible 5 Gold Star Film… what talent from everyone but hats off to you Mr. Patel… Dev… from day 1 … I’ve watched everything you’ve done and you’re epic… I see you winning so many awards more throughout Your lifetime… I watched this is a hospital bed sick in agony… Medicinema charity… building cinemas in Hospitals… the best … I loved every second… I didn’t want it to end… thank you ❤❤

[@hisvisionstv]

Two great directors. I was surprised that Dev Directed Monkey Man and Jordan Produced it. Great team! would love to see more from them.

[@haydendias]

i am absoluelety amazed. Im so happy for dev patels success

[@saquibhussain4789]

A great watch. Hope he directs more movies.

[@escupidadeluna7451]

Monkey man has been the action film I’ve been waiting for for years so good. Thank yall for your incredibly hard work.

[@brendandwyer7471]

[@christorres7591]

[@KillerTacos54]

I’m so unbelievably excited to watch this film in a couple of days!!

[@dynamicpisces]

Cannot wait! Hope it’s a huge success🥰🥰

[@David-sq5nt]

It is

[@JoeZCloud7783]

Such grace and humility from two of the great movie talents (soon to be legends) are so organically captivating and inspiring.

[@djwilliams1749]

Much success to both men...

[@MUHIL]

Just saw the film and I was really mind-blown!

[@melvinmorales1452]

I was amazed by the actors

[@user-Dragon-King740]

I can’t wait to see this it looks awesome

[@vijaykumarwali7509]

I see jordan Peele, i watch it. I didn't know it was Dev's directorial. What beautiful movie

[@Elmerphant]

They are so lovely. Just sweet talented dudes. They have such a great body of work to back it up too

[@movienerd3658]

I love them together they're amazing. I can't wait to watch the movie in cinemas!

[@thenatural1sttrpg]

This movie is a day 1 watch no doubt

[@honestcomments8053]

People forget how difficult it is to make this type of film is for first time director on a very low budget AND while Pandemic was at its peak.

[@noperiod]

$10 million in overseas is a lot. This film was shot in Indonesia

[@lokeshkaki63]

Well done! ❤

[@GeekSenseiOfficial]

LOVE THIS!!!!

[@jacobsaul]

love them

[@ericaward]

Love this✨

[@Ducky_logan]

I am so happy I saw this movie. Wow! Just amazing

[@sonyawilliams8930]

Saw it last night😊it was great ready for monkey man 2!👏

[@montenegroafro4454]

Just from the beautiful cinematography shots in the trailer, I KNOW this movie is gonna be one of the best in 2024, even get an Oscar nomination mark my words!! There should be more celebrity duos in the indie world like with Adam Sandler & the Safdie brothers to really seek out the talent and underrated potential for amazing storytellers out there!

[@solaris100]

Loved the movie. Fantastic achievement. Watch it in the cinema!

[@riichialmocera8529]

He had the cutest laugh 😊😊

[@miami_mutilator]

i remember bro from skins 🙏🏽 love seeing how far he has come

[@lb2696]

Jordan’s jacket is sweet.

[@teresamoyer4732]

Amazing movie!!! Loved this movie. MUST WATCH!!

[@sjeary1]

My partner is old school with action movies.. Late 70s western. I grew up as European asian, I am a Bollywood admireor. The delicate violent beauty makes this movie amazing!

[@randycanas3453]

From Start to Finish Awesome Movie!!!

[@nihilist4184]

The 2 best international actor and director.

[@RanjodhS1ngh]

just came from the theatre and I can say it was a good 8.3. Loved the action, and direction done by Dev

[@twittertwice]

What absurdity is that. who cares how you rank this film. No one is interested. I do not presume you know a damn thing about film.

[@aqustks]

Great marriage between these two. Can't wait to see future projects!

[@blockchainprofessor.x]

Anyone remember him from wayyyyy back in the Skins days?

[@swapnilkulkarni9209]

Waiting for a film directed by Jordan Peele starring Dev Patel ❤

[@yoaraangelie]

This is truly historic- for two iconic people to work together and make this project. Truly so amazed by this.

[@mattgilbert7347]

This movie rules

[@tulimelilashityuwete7516]

This movie went straight into my top ten of all time 🎉

[@tillthewheels]

Such a great film.

[@Snowflake_Destroyer]

I saw the movie and it was epic was not disappointed one bit The acting, the story, the action brilliant.

[@greggdaniellls]

This is going to be a thriller like John Wick.. Great direction, screenplay and compelling new character which Cinema didn't taste before.. Superb Action Packed World. 👍

[@yvonnegarraway570]

Dev Patel as the new James Bond?

[@ericc.5460]

The movie is outstanding!

[@jameseglavin4]

Netflix absolutely blew it on this one

[@mortystraphouse5077]

dev made an indian old boy type film. it was amazing. the shaky action cam was one major flaw but the film was brilliant in many ways

[@rajkumardhanwal4272]

Please Please dev sir release in india who wants to watch this movie in india comment on this video

[@frankiestein8482]

jts a anti hindu movie

[@dynamicpisces]

Why wouldn’t it be released in India if it’s a worldwide release? Never been to India. Genuinely curios 🤔

[@princemeena4732]

​@@dynamicpisces monkey man also refers to god hanuman and religion is a very sensitive topic in India. If you remember the back panthar fight scene where baku challenges him,baku says something about being from the hanuman tribe or something . That scene was not shown in India.

[@princemeena4732]

​@@frankiestein8482 I don't think it's anti hindu. The concept of monkey man is kinda inspired from hanuman actually . And the film also has sikandar kher in it, so the film definitely is not an anti hindu, he wouldn't have done it, if it was. And afterall the movie is a revenge story, nothing to do with religion.

[@rajkumardhanwal4272]

@@frankiestein8482 what no problem in this movie censor board was a dumb

[@angeltrejo9547]

Just watched it last night, movie was amazing! 100/10 definitely would recommend

Watched this movie yesterday.. 20/10!!!! Best movie I’ve ever seen

Brilliant

9:40 (sound of bubbly water)

[@thefixerr]

I saw this movie tonight with a mate and by the end we were both in awe, it was by far the best movie I’ve seen in years. The buildup into the movie was well paced that added backstory and context to every detail we missed in the beginning, half way through the movie it went real deep and built up into the ending with VERY satisfying moments up to the end.

On another note Robert Pattinson and Dev have the best unstyled styled hair ever

The Green Knight and now Monkey Man, Dev is an amazing actor and Director/Creator daaaaaaamn I have had it for 24hrs and watched it 3 times so far. It's far better than John Wick sorry not sorry.
