Michael B. Jordan, known for his roles in films like Black Panther and Creed, is back on the big screen in a brand-new genre. His latest movie, Sinners, is a horror thriller set in the 1930s, during the Jim Crow South, a time in American history marked by racial segregation and injustice. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the man behind Black Panther and Fruitvale Station, this film brings together gothic horror and a deep exploration of racial history.
Michael B. Jordan’s ‘Sinners’ Now in Theaters
The movie is currently playing exclusively in theaters and is creating a lot of buzz. It is filmed using 65mm film, which gives it a vintage yet immersive feel, and it is also available in IMAX for those who want a bigger, more detailed experience. This decision to keep the film in theaters for now is a deliberate one, as Sinners is expected to be available for streaming on Max later in 2025, but for now, fans will have to experience it on the big screen.
The film tells the story of twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, played by Michael B. Jordan in a dual role. The brothers return to their small hometown in rural Mississippi, hoping to start fresh. However, their plans take a dark turn when they are confronted by supernatural forces. As the plot unfolds, Sinners combines elements of Southern Gothic storytelling with psychological horror, making it an intense and chilling experience for viewers. Many critics have already called it one of Coogler’s boldest projects.

The film’s supporting cast includes notable actors such as Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku, who bring their characters to life with strong performances. Michael B. Jordan’s portrayal of two very different characters in the same film has been particularly praised, as he manages to create two distinct personas that resonate with the audience.
Though the film features bloody violence, sexual content, and strong language, it is intended for a mature audience. Sinners is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which means that viewers should expect an intense, suspense-filled movie experience.
