Sinners’ Post-Credits Scene and Ending, Explained
The first of Sinners’ two post-credits stingers recontextualizes the film’s ending, along with much of what we saw in the two hours prior.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners ends at its beginning: in the film’s first scene, we witness a young man named Sammie (Miles Caton) driving up to a small churchhouse in the middle of rural Mississippi in 1932. In the next scene, Coogler takes us back in time to the morning before, with Sammie’s twin cousins Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordan, pulling double duty) returning from Chicago with a small bit of money earned from less-than-legal dealings with Al Capone. With his side of the bargain now met, Stack has come to see Sammie play one last time before drifting back into the Only Lovers Left Alive- type of lifestyle — aka looking cool, hanging out, and listening to live music, as one might assume a chill vampire would do if they had all of eternity ahead of them — he and Mary have taken up in their decades of vampiredom.
