Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Unveils Poster Series Ahead of April Release

LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2025 — Warner Bros. has officially unveiled a series of character posters for the highly anticipated film ‘Sinners,’ directed by Ryan Coogler and featuring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Set to hit theaters on April 18, the film follows the brothers as they attempt to escape their troubled pasts; however, they find an even darker force waiting for them at home.

The film’s cast includes notable names such as Hailee Steinfeld as Mary, Jack O’Connell as Remmick, and Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim, alongside emerging talents like Miles Caton and Wunmi Mosaku. The character posters showcase the diverse ensemble and hint at the film’s haunting atmosphere.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home,” is a terrifying tagline from the film’s synopsis, which adds a chilling layer to the storyline. Coogler, known for his acclaimed works on ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Creed,’ aims to blend horror and drama in this supernatural narrative.

Coogler is not only directing but also serving as a producer alongside Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, ensuring that the film has a strong creative foundation. The film has a budget estimated at $90 million and has received an R rating for strong bloody violence, sexual content, and language, underscoring its mature themes.

Coogler’s collaboration with several key members of his ‘Black Panther’ team — including composer Ludwig Göransson and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw — showcases a commitment to high production values and innovative storytelling.

With Sinners, Warner Bros. aims to capitalize on audiences’ appetite for horror, especially with the film’s unique blend of supernatural elements and psychological tension. Fans are eagerly anticipating the film, which has seen a marketing push recently, including the release of the character posters.

The timing of the film’s release comes at a moment when horror films have regained popularity, with audiences looking for original storytelling and compelling scares. Warner Bros. has advised potential viewers to prepare for a cinematic experience that promises to both entertain and unsettle.

As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build. The latest promotion coincidentally aligns with a recent Blood Moon eclipse, tying into the film’s themes of darkness and the supernatural. Fans are encouraged to check out the newly released character posters and to brace themselves for Sinners, arriving in theaters on April 18.
