Earlier this year, Ryan Coogler proved that there’s still room for original stories in Hollywood with Sinners, the Prohibition-era horror movie that revitalized the classic vampire story. Coogler had earned the chance to make Sinners by directing two of the most popular movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Black Panther and its sequel, Wakanda Forever. Sinners even had an MCU tie-in, as some of its costumes were actually created for Marvel’s indefinitely delayed Blade film, remnants of its abandoned period setting.
With his original creation in the books, Coogler is returning to Marvel for another franchise project, and a new quote from the director reveals that his next MCU film is happening sooner than we thought.
