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.
