“Sinners” is the upcoming film featuring a long list of stars in its cast, but it is led by the talented Michael B. Jordan (Just Mercy, Creed and Fantastic Four), who also co-produced alongside director Ryan Coogler.
The story is set in the 1930s, during the Jim Crow era, and follows two fraternal twin brothers who return to their hometown after a troubled past, hoping to start anew. However, they soon discover that a far more sinister evil awaits them.
The diverse cast includes prominent actors in the modern industry, such as Jack O’Connell, Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku, adding depth and diversity to the title, which is set to premiere on March 7, 2025.
Is Sinners inspired on real events?
Although the film incorporates elements from the historical context of the era, it is not based on a true story; instead, it combines fictional elements with supernatural horror, offering a reflection on good and evil within a deeply personal framework.
The thriller mixes supernatural elements with real-world historical struggles, exploring themes of internal demons and external threats. It has been described as an atmospheric and tension-filled experience, promising to be more than just scares by addressing the emotional and psychological complexities of the era.
Director Ryan Coogler (Black Panther and Creed) is responsible for writing the script, so the story originates from his mind. He has not confirmed whether it is based on any personally experienced paranormal events, so it is estimated to be 100 percent fictional.
