Ryan Coogler Says ‘Sinners’ Was the Antidote to Directing Franchise Films: ‘I Wanted to Get Away from That’

Ryan Coogler explained why 'Sinners' won't get a sequel.

The “Black Panther” and “Creed” director told Ebony Magazine that despite his original film being a box office hit, it’s a one and done story. The film follows the brothers as they escape dueling factions in Chicago and return home to Mississippi to open a music hall, only to discover more blood-sucking foes left to battle. Coogler previously thanked fellow filmmakers Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino, and Brian De Palma for helping to inspire his leap of faith with “Sinners.” He also credited audiences for purchasing tickets to go to the feature in theaters.
