Oscar Nominated, British actor Dev Patel is all set to make a directorial debut with his film Monkey Man. And ever since the trailer has dropped, fans have quite literally lost their minds about just how promising the film looks!

The plotline has taken inspiration from the legend of lord Hanuman and seems to have created a wonderful action, thriller movie for the audiences. Originally, it was all set to release digitally on Netflix, but Jordan Peele watched the film and thought it was so good, that it deserves a theatrical release. Not to mention, the movie also stars Sobhita Dhulipala, which means that this will be her Hollywood debut!

Here’s the entire clip:

And here are some of the reactions people have had to the trailer:

I don’t want to hear a word about there being no original movies, how POC should make their own films instead of playing white heroes, or lamenting about movies being sent to streaming if you don’t go see Monkey Man in theaters and are able. pic.twitter.com/fBFKMn4GeK

“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. pic.twitter.com/AHW0G0bGCE

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

Now in theaters on April 5. pic.twitter.com/XaPMdtU6hx

if you not a white dude you really gotta write a fire role for yourself or find someone who shares your vision to write it. Hope Monkey Man makes 💰💰💰

Dev Patel just put the Infinity gauntlet on and said eff it, I'm done waiting. Sometimes you just need to create opportunities for yourself. 💪🔥 #MonkeyMan https://t.co/Ngva4YVPBp pic.twitter.com/zX3Lk2Wxu4
