Keith David has shared some new insights regarding his potential role in the upcoming Community film project. This discussion revolves around whether he will feature in this production.

What did Keith David say about his involvement in the Community movie?

As I sat down with ComingSoon for a chat about my voiceover work in the animated flick, Sneaks, they brought up a comment I made on social media regarding not being contacted for this project beforehand. To clear things up, let me share that although I didn’t receive a call initially, I was genuinely thrilled to join the team and bring the character to life!

David shared an exhilarating update about the Community film, mentioning that he’s been informed he will secure a role once filming commences.

David stated, “They mentioned that if the movie gets greenlit and I’m called for it, I’d be invited to the celebration. So far, nothing has happened. However, I didn’t say I wouldn’t accept if asked.

In the popular comedy series, David takes on the role of Elroy Patashnik, who was once a scientist and inventor. Now, he serves as the chief of Information Technology at Greendale Community College.

What do we know about the Community movie?

2022 saw Peacock confirming plans for a Community film penned by Dan Harmon and Andrew Guest. The upcoming production promises to reunite the show’s primary cast, with Joel McHale stepping into his Jeff Winger role once more, alongside Danny Pudi as Abed Nadir, Gillian Jacobs as Britta Perry, Alison Brie as Annie Edison, Yvette Nicole Brown as Shirley Bennett, Donald Glover as Troy Barnes, Jim Rash as Craig Pelton, and Ken Jeong as Ben Chang. However, Chevy Chase will not make an appearance in the film.

The filming of Community Movie faced an initial postponement in 2023 due to strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). Initially, it was hoped that production would start in 2024, but so far, no filming has commenced.

Details about the movie’s storyline are mostly kept secret; however, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024, Glover hinted that it would revolve around a college reunion and Abed will be a prominent filmmaker working on his masterpiece.

As for now, there’s no set date for the official release of the Community movie. But here’s some good news! You can catch all six seasons of Community right now on Peacock.
