Keith David recently gave an update on his involvement with the planned Community movie and whether or not he will be in it.

Speaking to ComingSoon for his voice role in the animated movie Sneaks, David was asked about a previous comment he made on social media, when he said he hadn’t been contacted about appearing in the movie.

David provided an exciting Community movie update, saying that he has actually been told he’ll have a place in the movie whenever it begins production.

“I’ve been told when the movie finally does get picked up to go, that I’ll be invited to the party. It hasn’t yet. I understand it’s going to be, when that happens, then we’ll see,” said David. “But I have not said that I would not do it.”

David plays Elroy Patashnik in the hit comedy series. A former scientist and inventor, Patashnik is the head of Greendale Community College’s I.T.

In 2022, Peacock announced that it was officially moving forward with a Community movie, written by Dan Harmon and Andrew Guest. The film will welcome back the series’ main cast, including Joel McHale as Jeff Winger, 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. Chevy Chase will not be in the movie.

Production for the Community movie was initially delayed in 2023 because of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes. While cast members initially said they believed the movie to begin filming sometime in 2024, though nothing has started yet.

Plot details for the film remain largely under wraps; Glover told The Hollywood Reporter in February 2024 that it will center around a “college reunion” and Abed will be a “big director” who is creating his magnum opus.

The Community movie does not yet have an official release date. All six seasons of Community, however, are currently streaming on Peacock.
