On IMDb, the artist Michael Busch is credited as Nobody in Nope, but there is no trace of his presence in the film. Jordan Peele himself said:
His story has yet to be told. I’m glad people noticed this, I think they want some answers to some of the details, and we’re not done telling this story yet.
