The following contains spoilers for Nope, now playing in theaters.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Jordan Peele's Nope was the obscurity regarding the villain when the first trailer dropped. It was obvious something was haunting the Haywood ranch, but it wasn't clear if it was a UFO, a biblical being, or maybe even a psychological enemy. That changed drastically, though, when the final trailer showed a white UFO chasing OJ (Daniel Kaluuya).

Still, given the director's knack for twists, many didn't believe this was the villain. They couldn't envision Peele spoiling the truth before they got into theaters. Interestingly, the threat wasn't a UFO per se but something much more sinister when OJ and his sister, Emerald, tried to capture footage of it.

Initially, OJ thought it was a UFO hiding in a giant cloud that hadn't moved for months. That stemmed from surveillance footage Angel got from their cams and OJ's personal encounters. It was sucking up people, animals and inorganic objects, the latter of which didn't seem to make sense. After all, if aliens were on the ship conducting experiments, as Angel warned, they would need living matter.

And as OJ eventually came face-to-face with it in a very close encounter, he realized it wasn't just an alien but a giant kaiju-like creature that had a big hole as a mouth. It would create a vortex and feed, whether it be horses or humans like the ones at Jupiter's Claim theme park. It's never explained why it came to Earth or how it could control a cloud, but OJ was able to figure out how it hunted. It was due to OJ's wrangling skills, which had him deducing it was a wild animal, hiding in the sky like the shark did in the sea in Jaws. He also realized if you didn't look it in the eye, it wouldn't get spooked and devour you -- which is something he learned with his family's horses.

Interestingly, it took on the shape of a flying saucer in the finale to chase OJ down, but right after that scene, the alien's form evolved even more. It grew angrier, sensing OJ was manipulating it, which he was. OJ lured it into a path so Antlers could capture it on an analog camera. It was a better option than a digital one that would have been dysfunctional due to the being's electric field, which knocked out power, cameras, batteries and cell phones.

It culminated in OJ taming it, so to speak, in the finale. He looked it in the eye, slowly drawing it away from Emerald. That caused it to turn into a giant jellyfish-like creature. It was gorgeous, coming off like ribbons blowing in the wind, but when it kept flaring, opening its mouth, that sense of apprehension, dread and tension returned. It was a beautiful, artistic way of mixing horror and suspense, further subverting what fans expected to see and leaving the Haywood siblings stunned at the predator encroaching on their territory.
