The poster centers on an ominous grey cloud hovering above an isolated mountain town. There is a kite string with many flags appearing to be falling out of the cloud, and one can assume that will play a part in the future storyline.
Fans have speculated on the plot of the film, which has yet to be revealed. The kite tail coming from the cloud has many assuming it may involve an alien invasion, but it is still too early to tell.
The movie proclaiming itself as the “new terror from the mind of Jordan Peele” is set to be released on July 22, 2022.
