By The first trailer has been released for Dev Patel’s feature directorial debut movie “Monkey Man”. Jordan Peele is producing the action thriller which was originally going to Netflix but will now be getting a theatrical release via Universal Pictures on April 5th.
Patel plays Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club.
Night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite.
