Monkey Man Release Date

 

Monkey Man will be released in theaters around the world on April 5, 2024. The official synopsis of the movie says, "Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Dev Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

 

"After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him."

 

Going by the trailer, Sikander Kher seems to be portraying an antagonist in the movie, while Sobhita Dhulipala may romance with Patel in the movie.  Reacting to the movie's trailer, a user wrote, "#MonkeyMan with Dev Patel is an Indian version of John Wick. Super excited."

 

Another user wrote, "Dev Patel’s ‘MONKEY MAN’ was previously bought by Netflix for $30M but Jordan Peele watched the film & felt it deserved a theatrical release."

 

One more user wrote, "Monkey Man looks unreal. Directed by and starring  Dev Patel. Crazy that “Slumdog Millionaire” was 16 years ago. Produced by Jordan Peele. I will also watch any film that has a Jay-Z track in the trailer."
