From Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther and Creed, comes a new vision of fear: Sinners. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

There's already been a lot of positive buzz surrounding the upcoming vampire movie, and the first social media reactions have just dropped (via FearHQ.com).

They're all overwhelmingly positive - which is what we've come to expect - but in place of the usual buzzwords are a lot of well-thought-out reviews and comments that point to Coogler's latest movie more than living up to expectations. 

Coogler has an impeccable track record as a filmmaker, so this isn't a huge shock. The big test will be the reviews, as those can often differ greatly from early reactions like these. 

Inevitably, many people will now immediately advocate for Coogler to helm Marvel Studios' long-delayed Blade movie. While he'd no doubt do an incredible job, his next project looks set to be Marvel Studios' Black Panther 3. Little is known about the threequel, though it will almost certainly feature a new T'Challa. 

Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, Sinners stars Jordan in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku , Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Miles Caton, and Delroy Lindo. 

Coogler's behind-the-camera artisans include his Black Panther franchise collaborators: director of photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Oscar-winning production designer Hannah Beachler, editor Michael P. Shawver, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, and Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.   

Sinners will be released in theaters on April 18. You can read the first reactions in the X posts below.

Coogler hasn't made a bad movie yet and some of his movies are the best of their "groups" (Creed isn't better than the original Rocky, but it is the best Rocky sequel and the best legacy sequel ever, Black Panther might be the best MCU movie and Wakanda Forever is the best post-Endgame MCU movie). Really looking forward to this.

@FinnishDude - okay I agree with Rocky. But BP being the best MCU movie? Winter Soldier, Iron Man, hell even the first Avengers movie is better.

And Wakanda Forever the best post-endgame movie? Bro come on, there’s only one movie that’s been universally loved since Endgame, and it’s the reason the director got offered any Avenger movie he wanted, and even now Spider-Man…

I wouldn't doubt it. These two make a Damn good duo. I'd love to see Coogler get the chance to do a Blue Marvel or Icon superhero project.

@ModHaterSLADE - If the world was ever ready for an Icon film, I'd go with Dennis Haysbert. And for Blue Marvel, why not Kevin Grevioux himself? He created Adam and has the build and voice to play the role and Adam has graying hair, so age wouldn't be an issue.

@BlackStar25 - yeah…

Coogler’s a consistent storyteller imo.

I haven’t seen Fruitvale Station (partly because the subject matter is so tough) but I have liked all his other films so far!!.

This is gonna make some people angry. The metaphor is not subtle.

@CoHost - Translation: It made YOU angry.
Nobody tells Native Americans to get over what happened to them.
Nobody tells Jewish people to get over what happened to them.

But even when Black people make original art to express what is literally passed down in DNA, it's a problem.

Go complain about a redhead losing out on a comic book character role you never cared about, but need an excuse to be pointlessly angry and miserable about.

Sounds good so can’t wait !!.

The “From Dusk till Dawn” comparison is nice since it does feel like that film to an extent.

Anyway , the Coogler-MBJ combo keeps on winning.

We need more original work from Coogler. This sounds amazing. Apparently there’s a horror scene that’s an all timer in here. Can’t wait to see this.

My wife won't go to a vampire movie. My adult Grandson will take me, so I don't even have to drive. How great will this be totally blasted on IMAX?
