Sinners 2 Could Happen After Michael B. Jordan Led Part 1 to Box Office Success
A new report hints at what's next for Sinners, suggesting that a follow-up may be taking shape behind the scenes. The update lists Sinners 2 among in-development titles, pointing to the potential return of key cast members and a shift in timeline. Details about the sequel remain limited at this stage. Still, the listing signals early movement on a possible continuation of the story.
A sequel to Sinners is reportedly in development, with Sinners 2 listed in Issue 1455 of Production Weekly, dated May 29, 2025.
Ryan Coogler, who directed the original film, reportedly plans to return as director and producer. However, production will likely wait until he finishes his upcoming X-Files reboot, a separate thriller project with Warner Bros., and potentially the third Black Panther film.
The first film ended with Michael B. Jordan's Stack and Hailee Steinfeld's character confirmed to be alive in the present day. This opens the possibility for the sequel to be set in modern times. If he returns, Coogler is expected to write the script, with Jordan reportedly set to reprise his role as the lead.
Coogler and Jordan have worked together on multiple films, including Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther. Their next film is not on the schedule yet, as Ryan Coogler's immediate focus seems to be a reboot of The X-Files.
In an April 2025 interview with Last Podcast on the Left, Coogler confirmed, 'I've been excited about that for a long time and I'm fired up to get back to it. Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f–king scary.' He added that the team aims to create something for longtime fans while attracting new viewers. Production on Sinners 2 is unlikely to begin until The X-Files reboot is completed.
The original Sinners made over $260 million at the domestic box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it was originally pitched with franchise potential when Warner Bros. acquired the film. The new listing suggests development on a follow-up is now underway.
Warner Bros. has not officially confirmed Sinners 2. However, the project's listing in Production Weekly and Coogler's involvement suggest early pre-production planning.

Lost since 1985, Gibson kicks off hunt for missing 'Back to the Future' guitar
Marty McFly's rendition of 'Johnny B. Goode' at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance in "Back to the Future" is one of the most memorable scenes from the 1980s. But despite how unforgettable the image of Michael J. Fox rocking out on a Gibson ES-345 is, the whereabouts of the actual guitar are a mystery. And the cast from the film is asking for your help finding it. Advertisement In a video posted by Gibson Tuesday, Fox, Lea Thompson (Lorraine), Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) and other members of the team behind the 1985 film are enlisting the public to track down the prop guitar, which they say has not been seen since 1985. 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum,' says Fox. 'Or it's in some Teamster's garage.' The guitar originally hailed from Norman's Rare Guitars, a shop in Los Angeles known for its vast selection of vintage guitars. Norman Harris, the shop's owner, told Reverb in 2015 he received a call from the Warner Bros. Prop department in 1984 asking for a guitar that looked futuristic. Advertisement After originally renting the film a Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster, the art director came back to Harris asking for another option in red with a whammy. Though it wouldn't be era-correct for 1955, Harris eventually presented them with the ES-345 (which would not be available until 1958). When production was ramping up for the sequel, Harris told Reverb he received a call from the studio asking to use the same guitar once again. The problem was he didn't remember what happened to it. Gibson is producing a documentary about the search for the guitar as the film turns 40, titled 'Lost to the Future.' 'We've been looking into leads and rumors for a long time, and as you can imagine, we're talking 40 years ago, so memories fade,' Lost to the Future director Doc Crotzer told The Hollywood Reporter. 'We weren't in the era of digital trails, or of receipts and things like that. There are conflicting reports too. You can find about as many different rumors as you can people.' Advertisement Harris apparently has told a few different stories over the years explaining the possible whereabouts of the guitar, including one which claims he sold it to a friend, who sold it to a woman who eventually returned to the store and asked for $1 million to sell it back. It may seem like an unthinkable travesty for such an iconic piece of movie history to be lost, but it was only recently that studios recognized the value of their props from major films. Today, studios keep detailed inventory tracking systems and work with auction houses such as Propstore and Julien's to sell items shortly after the release of the film to recoup costs. The filmmakers are encouraging anyone with knowledge of the whereabouts of the guitar to visit the website and contact them with tips.
