‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler mistakenly handcuffed as bank robber, says ‘situation should never have happened’

Ryan Coogler, director of Hollywood blockbusters “Black Panther” and “Creed,” was erroneously handcuffed after an Atlanta bank teller grew concerned of a potential robbery, police said.

The incident occurred on Jan. 18 when Coogler asked to withdraw money from Bank of America by handing a note to an unidentified teller, requesting that the transaction be handled discreetly, according to an Atlanta Police Department report obtained by the Daily News.

The withdrawal request was for more than $10,000, police said.
