The Streaming Debut of ‘Monkey Man’

After marking its presence on the big screen earlier in April, the Dev Patel-directed action thriller, ‘Monkey Man’, steps into the digital realm. Co-produced by Jordan Peele, the movie is set to be available to subscribers of the Peacock streaming service from June 14th. This follows a somewhat unremarkable theatrical run, earning $34 million at the global box office. However, creators remain optimistic about reaching a wider audience through a 4K Blu-ray release in the UK and featuring on a popular streaming platform.

Experience a Rage-Filled Quest for Justice

‘Monkey Man’ takes viewers on a thrilling journey laced with vengeance, systemic corruption, and high-adrenaline chase and fight scenes. The action-packed narrative centers around Kid, embodied by Dev Patel, a young man bearing scars from his traumatic past. Kid combats his childhood pain and injustices through a politically charged action campaign against the city’s corrupt elite, inspired by the iconic Hanuman—a symbol of strength and courage.

Engaging in a nightly ritual of brutal battles at an underground fight club dressed in a gorilla mask, Kid lives an obscure life. However, an opportunity to infiltrate the city’s malevolent upper crust provides a path to fulfil his craving for revenge.

A Tribute to Resilience

The raw and uncompromising plot of ‘Monkey Man’ aims to reveal the resilience of the human spirit against adversities. It reiterates the power of justice and the transformative potential of revenge when it’s aimed towards dismantling systemic corruption.

Star-Studded Cast

Dev Patel shares the screen with an ensemble cast including Sharlto Copley, Sobhita Dhulipala, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Ashwini Kalsekar, Adithi Kalkunte, Sikandar Kher, and Makarand Deshpande. Patel and Peele teamed up with a group of reputable producers such as Jomon Thomas, Win Rosenfeld, Ian Cooper, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Christine Haebler, and Anjay Nagpal. The executive producers include Jonathan Fuhrman, Natalya Pavchinskya, Aaron L. Gilbert, Andria Spring, Alison-Jane Roney, and Steven Thibault.
