Ryan Coogler Says He ‘Never’ Considered Making a ‘Sinners’ Sequel, Wanted to ‘Get Away’ From Franchise Films: ‘I Wanted It to Be a Holistic and Finished Thing’ Ryan Coogler says he wanted to 'get away' from franchise films when making 'Sinners.'

I want filmmakers to be their own franchises. I don't want SINNERS 2. I want the next Ryan Coogler movie.

I can attest that it's definitely worth the wait!

And you may find yourself living in a thatched-roof hut
And you may find yourself living in the Holy Roman Empire
And you may find yourself negotiating with your lords
And you may find yourself in a beautiful hall, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

The Zoot Suit Worn by Maluma at Met Gala 2025 Has a Scandalous History Dress as an act of resistance, we're here for it.

The Mexican Zoot suit, or Pachuco, was brought into the 21st century last night at the 2025 Met Gala. The suit is known as an act of resistance and “was an open rejection of the moral codes propagated by sanctimonious white middle-class Americans.”

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
