Sinners (2025)
Ryan Coogler's Jim Crow-era vampire film uses the genre to explore Black art and cultural memory. It establishes the stakes of everything that follows.
Actor: Michael B. Jordan
Michael B Jordan has appeared in all five of Ryan Coogler’s films, beginning with Fruitvale Station, in which he plays Oscar Grant across the last day of his life.
Creed gave him a franchise and Killmonger gave him the best antagonist Marvel has produced, a man whose political argument the film cannot simply dismiss.
He came up through The Wire and Friday Night Lights, and directed Creed III, and has instituted inclusion riders on his own productions.
