“Ryan Coogler has solidified his place as one of the greats (more than he already has) with #Sinners. As good as you think it’s going to be, it’s better. Scary, SEXY, and social commentary with a hell of a bite,” said Slashfilm writer BJ Colangelo on X. For Michael B. Jordan, one of the most difficult parts about filming was playing two characters. In an interview with TheHollywoodReporter, he revealed “I did every scene like four times, fives times, so I think the balance between going back and forth was difficult at times but you find a rhythm and after a while it was second nature. I had a lot of fun.”

Wunmi Mosaku: ‘Sinners’

Our March cover star Wunmi Mosaku, talked about how she got into her role. “I read a few books,” she explained. “I started with Marie Laveau, and then I went into learning about Ifa. I spoke with Hoodoo priestesses and practitioners in New Orleans. We also worked with a consultant, Yvonne Chireau. Ryan has written Annie with full respect to the culture, religion, practice and wisdom of the conjuring women of Louisiana and West Africa.” Read the full story here and get into looks from the ‘Sinners’ red carpet, below:
