Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have developed a similar relationship
The bond that Peele and Kaluuya have developed is rare, but it does happen in Hollywood.

Time once reported that Spielberg and Hanks were talking about their actor-director bond. Spielberg noted that Saving Private Ryan It was the first time they had “cast” each other.
“It’s funny because sometimes it was my idea, sometimes it was Tom’s idea, and sometimes it was that we decided independently of each other,” Spielberg said. “Once Tom read the first draft of a script and I read the first draft of a script and we called each other on the phone at the same time and decided to do it together, that was Saving Private Ryan. It was the only time he dumped me and I dumped him.
Hanks also had something to say about how his bond with Spielberg evolved during his collaboration.
“We developed a language that was about how we read history for fun,” Hanks said. “We were constantly reading biographies or stories, looking for documentaries we had never seen. From there came this dialogue based on: “Have you heard of this? Have you read this? Have you seen this? Are you reading this now?’”
Hanks continued, “It’s no surprise that the first thing we did was based on the vision of history that we keep reading about, and it goes on and on; can’t quite get enough. We really had that shortcut. His version of the cinema is all his, and instinctive, my version of the game is completely [mine]so we never really talked about the specifics of this one.
Director-actor duos can boost a film’s performance
Critics and audiences have already drawn comparisons between Peele and Spielberg, so it makes sense to extend that to their duets with actors Kaluuya and Hanks, respectively. Some people have claimed that Nope do in heaven what Jaws made for the ocean. Regardless of one’s opinion of this statement, it is clear that Peele draws inspiration from the visual spectacle of Spielberg’s works, such as Jaws and Dating of the Third Kind.
When an actor and director are comfortable working together, it allows creativity to flourish. Peele talked about non-verbal communication with Kaluuya, while Spielberg and Hanks also have their own language to connect with. As a result, they have a better understanding of each other as artists. Therefore, there is a greater sense of collaboration.
