There’s a real demand out there for a Black vampire film, and even if Marvel still can’t seem to figure out how to make its Blade reboot work, another MCU alum has us covered. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler has stepped back from Marvel to shepherd a new horror film starring frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan. Sinners will hopefully deliver everything horror fans have been hoping for... and maybe a little extra.
While there isn’t much known about the plot yet, the trailer for Sinners sets the stage well enough to keep us invested. Jordan will star as twin brothers, one of whom might secretly be a vampire. And he’s not the only bloodsucker stalking the southern town they call home, forcing our protagonist, Smoke, to face the might of a full-on vampire invasion. Adding a bit more flavor to the festivities is its period setting, which pushes Sinners into a horror subgenre that’s been missing on the big screen for some time.
