After the blockbuster success of 'Sinners', the fans of this horror-drama have been earnestly hoping for its sequel as per the current trend in the film industry.
The director of the movie,
Ryan Coogler
, has now expressed his intentions of not making a sequel to the movie, reported Variety.
In a recent interview with Ebony Magazine, as quoted by Variety, Coogler, who has helmed mega-franchise blockbusters like 'Black Panther' and 'Creed,' said he "never" thought about making a follow-up to his enormously successful vampire thriller, 'Sinners'.
The director shared the inspiration behind his movie while highlighting that his "intention" was always to make a "holistic and finished" thing.
"I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that.
I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique," said Coogler as quoted by Variety.
He continued, "I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetisers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it. That was always my intention," as quoted by Variety.
In a recent sit-down with Variety, Coogler elaborated on how "Sinners" perfectly aligns with his favourite type of movies.
While talking about 'Sinners', the director said, "This film is very much me. I love anything supernatural. I'm in. I like stories about communities, about neighbourhoods, about archetypes. And I love period anything. So, when you layer those things together, that does it for me," as quoted by Variety.
According to the outlet, 'Sinners' recently crossed 350 million USD at the global box office, which places the movie in the top 10 highest-grossing movies of the year.
The film follows brothers Smoke and Stack, both played by frequent Coogler collaborator Michael B. Jordan.
As the enterprising twins return to their home in Mississippi to open a music hall, they find their new business under siege by a horde of vampires.
Other members of the expansive cast include Miles Caton, Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Jack O'Connell, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and more.

What to know about fatal shooting of King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss as co-stars pay tribute
HOUSTON (AP) — What prompted the fatal shooting of Jonathan Joss, a Native American voice actor best known for his work on the animated television series 'King of the Hill,' remained unclear on Tuesday. While Joss' husband has claimed the person who killed the actor yelled 'violent homophobic slurs' before opening fire, San Antonio police have said they've found 'no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Mr. Joss' murder was related to his sexual orientation.' Police did not respond to multiple emails on Tuesday seeking additional information on the cause of the shooting. Since Joss' killing, friends, actors Joss worked with and fans have honored the actor's memory with tributes and fond remembrances. Here's what to know about Joss, his career and his shooting: Joss, 59, grew up in San Antonio and graduated from the communications and theater program at Our Lady of the Lake University in 1990. Joss was best known as the voice of John Redcorn, a Native American character on the popular 'King of the Hill' animated series, which ran for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2008. A reboot of the show, which Joss had already worked on, is set to start in August. Joss also had a recurring role on the television show 'Parks and Recreation,' playing Chief Ken Hotate. He appeared in two episodes of the series 'Tulsa King' in 2022. Joss' childhood home, where he still lived, burned down in January. He lost all his belongings and his three dogs were killed in the blaze. A GoFundMe account had been set up to help Joss and his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, get back on their feet. 'We may have lost our home, but not our hope. We're moving forward with love, humor, and a little elbow grease…and we're incredibly grateful for every ounce of support,' Joss said in a May 14 Facebook post in which he indicated he was in Los Angeles looking for a new home. By the end of May, Joss was back in Texas, and on Saturday, he took part in a live music performance in Austin, located about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northeast of San Antonio. Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 56, is accused by police of confronting Joss and his husband as they were checking their mail at the burned-down home Sunday night. In a statement, de Gonzales alleged that when Ceja Alvarez opened fire, Joss pushed his husband out of the way and saved his life. Ceja Alvarez was charged with murder. Court records indicate he was freed Monday on a $200,000 bond. Ceja Alvarez's attorney, Alfonso Otero, did not immediately return a call or an email seeking comment. Robert Rios, a friend of Joss', told TV station KSAT that Joss and Ceja Alvarez were neighbors and the two had argued for years. Actor Chris Pratt, who worked with Joss on 'Parks and Recreation,' fondly remembered the actor in an Instagram story on Monday. Both actors had also appeared in the 2016 remake of 'The Magnificent Seven.' 'Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude,' Pratt wrote. 'Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.' In a Facebook post, San Antonio-based Our Lady of the Lake University, Joss' alma mater, called him 'a trailblazer in his field. His work and advocacy have left a lasting impact, and his legacy will continue to inspire.' 'You were more than a character — you were a storyteller, a dreamer, and a force that will never be forgotten,' comedian Roy Alex Gomez, who was a friend of Joss, wrote in a Facebook post.

Want to watch 'Sinners' on TV without breaking the law? Here are some great streaming options
After making waves at the global box office, 'Sinners', the supernatural horror film starring Michael B. Jordan, has finally arrived on digital platforms. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the film became available for streaming on June 3 on Amazon Prime Video and BookMyShow Stream. But there's a catch. Sinners is surely on OTT, but it isn't part of any subscription catalogue and is currently available only as a premium rental. In India, viewers will need to shell out ₹ 499 to watch the film at home. 'Sinners' first hit theatres on April 18 and quickly became a box office success, grossing over $350 million worldwide. It now holds the position of the eighth highest-grossing film of 2025. A big part of its popularity is thanks to Jordan's powerful performance in a dual role, portraying twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore. His portrayal of the troubled siblings added emotional weight to the film's dark and suspenseful narrative. Even as the film moves to digital, 'Sinners' continues to play in select cinemas across India. This gives audiences a choice: pay a premium to rent the film at home or experience it on the big screen one last time. With its moody atmosphere, supernatural tension, and a leading man at the top of his game, 'Sinners' remains a compelling watch. However, the decision to offer it only on rent may divide viewers — some may see it as worth the price, while others might wait for it to join a streaming subscription later. The film features Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers with a criminal past who return to their hometown for a fresh start, only to face a mysterious supernatural force. The cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. 'Sinners' is now the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025.
