Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler have returned with their latest film project and it’s an intense, horror thriller.

On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Sinners and Jordan is playing twins. Rounding out the cast are Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku, Omar Miller, Jayme Lawson, and Jack O’Connell.

The synopsis reads, “Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.”

The film is Coogler’s first since the global blockbuster Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released in theatres in 2022. It also marks another collaboration between Coogler and Jordan. Previously, they’ve worked together on Fruitvale Station, Creed, and the first Black Panther.

At a virtual press conference on Monday, Jan. 27, Coogler said that Sinners was “partially inspired by his family’s history in Mississippi.”

“The seed of it started with that relationship with my uncle,” Coogler said. “He would listen to blues music all the time and he would only talk about Mississippi when he was listening to that music. He had a profound effect on my life, and I got a chance to kind of dig into my own ancestral history with this film. It’s been extremely rewarding.”

Coogler noted that he and Jordan have a similar relationship that Martin Scorsese has with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. Also, he shared how 

“All of my favorite filmmakers have those relationships, and it makes it easier, man. It’s hard to make a movie, bro,” Coogler explained. “It’s hard to lead a film, to be an actor in these films, and when you have somebody who it clicks with. And somebody who understands you, who gets you, and somebody who it doesn’t feel like work all the time. Then what we went through with losing Chadwick, man, it made us both, I think, appreciate each other even more.”

Sinners premieres in theaters on April 18.
