The ensemble cast includes the likes of Li Jun Li and Lola Kirke, who play pivotal roles alongside Jordan. They are joined by newcomers Yao, Miles Caton, and Peter Dreimanis, all contributing to the suspense and intrigue of the storyline. While details about some characters remain under wraps, the cast has already drawn attention for its diverse and talented lineup, promising a fresh approach to the horror genre.
One notable presence is Delroy Lindo, whose role has been kept secret. Speculation surrounds his character, with whispers of a potential musical element adding an unexpected twist. Lindo is known for his standout performances in films like ‘Da 5 Bloods’, where he starred alongside the late Chadwick Boseman, as well as popular hits like ‘The Harder They Fall and Gone in 60 Seconds’. His involvement has only heightened anticipation for ‘Sinners’.
The plot, according to a cryptic logline, follows the twin brothers who return to their hometown in hopes of leaving their past troubles behind. However, their fears and problems persist, haunting them at every turn. In the trailer, Jordan’s character delivers a haunting line, “Of all the things that I’ve seen, I ain’t ever seen no demons, no ghosts, no magic…til now,” adding a chilling layer of suspense.
Alongside Jordan, the film boasts a stellar supporting cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack O’Connell, Jayme Lawson, and Omar Benson Miller. Each actor brings depth to the storyline, further intensifying the eerie atmosphere of the film. The trailer teases a relentless confrontation with the unknown, as the characters grapple with forces beyond their comprehension.
Warner Bros. Studios acquired the film earlier this year after an intense bidding war, showcasing the high demand for the project. With ‘Sinners’ being one of the studio’s most anticipated releases, it is clear that both Jordan and Coogler have created a compelling story that captivated industry insiders from the start.
The title of the film was officially announced by Warner Bros., followed by a viral promotional campaign under the hashtag #sinnersarecoming. The cryptic nature of the promotions has only added to the excitement, with fans eagerly awaiting more details. The film’s poster, which Jordan shared, carries the ominous tagline, “Dance with the devil, and he’ll follow you home.”
