Coogler and Jordan's Supernatural Thriller: Anime-Influenced Period Piece

Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are teaming up again for an untitled supernatural thriller film. Set in the Jim Crow-era South, the movie is expected to feature vampires and anime influences. Warner Bros. Pictures has won the rights to the project after a competitive bidding process against other major studios. The film planning to fast-track into production with shooting starting in April in New Orleans. This new endeavor hints at a period piece entangled with the undead and marks a significant move for Coogler outside of his Marvel Studios collaborations. With pre-production largely completed, the industry is eagerly awaiting further casting news as the project develops. The film's ties to anime are particularly intriguing, brought in by Michael B. Jordan's known appreciation of the genre.

When can we expect the Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan supernatural thriller to be released?

While an official release date hasn't been announced, with production aiming to start in April, it's likely we could see a release sometime in 2025 or 2026, depending on the progress of production and post-production schedules.

Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan have previously collaborated on critically acclaimed projects like "Creed" and Marvel's "Black Panther." Coogler is noted for his thoughtful storytelling and dynamic directing style, while Jordan is celebrated for his powerful performances both as a lead and a supporting actor. Their partnership has often resulted in successful and well-received films that resonate with both audiences and critics. This new project steps away from the superhero genre, delving into horror with historical and cultural elements likely to offer a fresh perspective in the thriller domain.
