If, like me, you adored Sinners, then you’ll be excited to hear – although not surprised, probably – that a sequel is reportedly already in development.
While Ryan Coogler’s blues/vampire flick has a pretty self-contained story, there’s definitely room for additional stories in that world and, since it was a big hit, you’ll not be shocked to hear the a sequel is now being planned with Coogler apparently set to return behind the camera according to Production Weekly.
While the movie was shopped as having franchise potential, when exactly coogler will get to it, given that he’s currently developing Black Panther III at Marvel and also the new X-Files series.
Whatever happens, the movie looks like it’s happening… you just can’t keep a good vampire down.
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan (the “Black Panther” and “Creed” franchises) in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (“Bumblebee,” “True Grit”), Jack O’Connell (“Ferrari”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Passenger”), Jayme Lawson (“The Woman King”), Omar Benson Miller (“True Lies”) and Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods”).
The film is produced by Coogler and frequent collaborators Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield and Rebecca Cho.

Shawver, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, and Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.

Marc
Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
