Marlon Wayans is gearing up to headline the horror film “Goat” produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, and recent reports from Deadline reveal that Tyriq Withers from “Atlanta” has also joined the cast.

Directed by Justin Tipping, known for “Kicks,” this sports-themed psychological horror, based on a pitch by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, centers around a talented young athlete who receives an invitation to train with a team’s retiring star.

In the movie, Wayans will take on the role of the retiring star, while Withers is set to portray the promising young athlete.

Marlon Wayans, recognized for his contributions to the horror genre through the Scary Movie franchise, recently made a return to horror with Netflix’s “The Curse of Bridge Hollow.”

Jordan Peele is set to produce the film, alongside Win Rosenfeld, Ian Cooper, and Jamal Watson. David Kern and Kate Oh serve as executive producers.

Monkeypaw Productions, responsible for Peele’s acclaimed works like “Get Out,” “Us,” and “Nope,” as well as projects like Nia DaCosta’s “Candyman,” “The Twilight Zone” reboot, and the HBO series “Lovecraft Country,” continues to make its mark in the horror and suspense genre.

Stay tuned for more updates as further details about the film emerge.
