With just two movies under his belt, Jordan Peele films are now an event unto themselves.

And if the final trailer is to be believed…

Nope is gonna be about an alien invasion.

The alien theory has been one hovering around the film since that original trailer back in February.

Realistically, you cant not think that beings not of this world would be showing up in this movie.

(I remember you, Terminator Genisys, even if everyone else would prefer not to.)

Regardless, Nope is sure to stick with you when it hits theaters on July 22.

And hey, maybe the aliens are a smokescreen for something bigger.

Come next month, we could be finding out that theyre actually angels.
