Michael B. Jordan is no stranger to gracing the covers of magazines. This time, he does so alongside director Ryan Coogler ahead of their new film, ‘Sinners.’

Full story below…

Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s partnership is more than just a collaboration—it’s a brotherhood that transcends the typical Hollywood dynamic.

Their relationship, built on years of working together on projects such as ‘Fruitvale Station’ and ‘Black Panther,’ continues to evolve and push the boundaries of cinema.

Speaking with Essence, Coogler reflected on the moments when Jordan’s ideas shifted their direction in unexpected and powerful ways.

When asked about the most important lesson he’s learned in the industry, Jordan shared his thoughts:

“It’s never just a job. It’s never just one role. Every choice you make matters and can have a lasting impact. Intentionality is key in everything you do.”

‘Sinners’ marks their fifth collaboration. From their debut film, ‘Fruitvale Station’, which launched Jordan’s career, to ‘Creed‘, ‘Black Panther, Wakanda Forever’, their creative partnership has consistently produced remarkable work.

Set in the Jim Crow South, Sinners is a supernatural thriller where twin brothers—both portrayed by Jordan—return to their hometown in Chicago. They face a dark and sinister force that has been waiting for them

 ‘Sinners’ arrives in theaters on April 18.
