Michael B. Jordan plays twins in the period horror "Sinners." Here's everything we know about the mysterious new movie.

• Michael B. Jordan plays twins in a mysterious new horror movie, "Sinners," set in the 20th century.
• The actor has reunited with "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler for the film.
• The spooky first trailer shows Jordan's characters preparing to fight a unknown threat.

Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler have reunited for "Sinners," after working together on blockbuster projects like "Creed" and "Black Panther."

Jordan plays a pair of twins in the early-20th-century historical horror set to be released in 2025. However, further details about the movie's plot have been kept intentionally murky.

Jordan's characters, Elijah and Elisa, return to their hometown in the southern United States and face a mysterious threat.

In April 2024, there were rumors the film was about vampires. This was noted by The Hollywood Reporter when it broke the news that Wunmi Mosaku had joined the cast. However, the film's trailer dropped online in September 2024 and there was no explicit vampiric imagery.

Coogler could be keeping the film's antagonist unclear as to not spoil any twists for future audiences.

With that in mind, here's everything we know about "Sinners" so far.

'Sinners' trailer shows Michael B. Jordan defending a bar from a mysterious group

The initial trailer keeps things very close to the chest opening with Jordan, playing one of the twins, defending an old bar, followed by a shot of the twins embracing having returned to their hometown.

The bar, which we find out in a preview for the second trailer is owned by the twins, is approached by a strange group of people who want to get in, but it's not clear why.

In one shot, a boy appears in a church, with claw marks across his face.

The trailer's voiceover does suggests the plot could involve supernatural elements. Jordan says "I've been all over this world. I've seen men die in ways I ain't even know was possible. Of all the things that I've seen, I ain't ever seen no demons, no ghosts, no magic… til' now."

From there, the footage claims that "Sinners" is a "new vision of fear" from Coogler. There are snippets of people in bloodied clothes, and Jordan preparing for a fight inside the bar, and Jordan firing an old machine gun at something off-camera.

Coogler included an easter egg for a potential plot twist the trailer's final shot. We see a crowd dancing to a DJ and boom-box — items that don't match the film's early 20th-century setting.

On Sunday, Warner Bros. released a new clip from the film showing three people trying to persuade Elijah and Elias to let them into a bar. This scene does fit the vampire trope of having to ask permission before entering a building.

Michael B. Jordan leads the "Sinners" cast alongside Hailee Steinfeld

Coogler recruited an impressive cast for "Sinners" in addition to Jordan. "True Grit" and "Hawkeye" star Hailee Steinfeld plays Mary, who is seen in the trailer dancing in a yellow dress, while "Lovecraft Country" and "Loki" actor Wunmi Mosaku plays Annie.

British audiences will recognize Jack O'Connell, who played Cook in the UK TV show "Skins," as Remmick.

They're joined by Jayme Lawson as Pearl, Delroy Lindo as Slim, Li Jun Li as Grace, and Omar Benson Miller as Cornbread.

"Sinners" will be released on April 18

Warner Bros. pushed the film's cinema debut back from March 7 to April 18.

In December 2024, Deadline reported that the reshuffle was down to the "scarcity" of labs that could work on "Sinners" because it was shot on film.
