Film fans are in for a treat as actor Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler team up again for the highly anticipated horror thriller “Sinners.” The movie, set to hit theaters on March 7, 2025, is the duo’s fifth collaboration and has been one of Hollywood’s most tightly kept secrets since its announcement earlier this year.
Jordan took to social media this week to share the film’s poster, revealing he will take on a dual role in the movie. The actor captioned the post with an eerie message: “Dance with the devil…and he’ll follow you home.”
The Story Behind ‘Sinners’
Set in the Jim Crow-era South of the 1930s, “Sinners” follows twin brothers (played by Jordan) who return to their hometown, hoping to escape their troubled past. But what awaits them is a supernatural evil even more terrifying than what they left behind. The plot, which is shrouded in mystery until now, promises a spine-chilling experience with elements of suspense and horror.
A Star-Studded Cast and Crew
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, Jack O’Connell, and Hailee Steinfeld. Other cast members include Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, and Omar Benson Miller, among others.
“Sinners” also brings together some of the best behind-the-scenes talent, many of whom have worked with Coogler on his previous projects. Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, production designer Hannah Beachler, and costume designer Ruth E. Carter — all from “Black Panther” — return to bring Coogler’s latest vision to life. Additionally, Ludwig Göransson, fresh from his Oscar win for “Oppenheimer,” serves as executive producer and composer for the film’s score.
A Highly Anticipated Reunion
Coogler and Jordan first collaborated on the acclaimed 2013 film “Fruitvale Station,” and the pair have continued their partnership through the “Creed” and “Black Panther” franchises. The announcement of their latest project, “Sinners,” sparked a bidding war in Hollywood, with Warner Bros. securing the rights to the film. The project marks Coogler’s first time directing since 2022’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
The excitement around “Sinners” has only grown since this spring, when cinematographer Arkapaw teased the project with a behind-the-scenes photo of Coogler on set. Now, with the title and the first look revealed, fans are eager to see what the duo will deliver next.
As anticipation builds for the release of “Sinners,” the dynamic partnership between Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan promises another thrilling cinematic experience. With a gripping plot, an all-star cast, and top-tier talent behind the camera, “Sinners” is set to be one of the most talked-about films of 2025.
