The last time we saw the magic of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele together was in their feature film, Keanu, in 2016. They even launched the last season of their popular comedy show Key and Peele, in the same year. After that, the duo has been working in their respective field separately. Fans were hoping they would reunite soon because they have the best combination anyone could want in a film. And Netflix has heard their prayers, as Key and Peele together will star in the new animated feature film Wendell and Wild.

Wendell and Wild is an upcoming stop-motion animated dark fantasy comedy horror film by Henry Selick, and it will be scripted by Selick, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, and Clay McLeod Chapman. After 13-years since Caroline, the stop-motion animation movies marks Henry Selick’s return. The film will explore the journey of two scheming brothers, Wendell and Wild, who have to face the demon-dusting nun Sister Helly, Kat and Raoul, and her two acolytes.
