Did Ryan Coogler tease a 'Sinners' trilogy?

You wouldn't mind us coming in now, would you

We hungry as dogs. Woof, woof. Let's talk about the genius behind Sinners

On the surface, it's about Preacher Boy resisting a vampire. But it's a film packed with history and lore

One where the closer you look, the deeper it gets. And there's a bigger story you might have missed

The film follows Sammy Moore, a musician, fighting off Remick, a blood-sucking villain who is building a hive-mined coven

But if you listen closely to the opening monologue, Annie talks about a legend that exists in ancient Ireland, Choctaw Land, and West Africa

There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, they can pierce the veil between life and death

This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also attracts evil

That evil is Remick. And that gift is Sammy's song, which literally conjures people from across time to dance at the juke joint

Somebody take me in your eyes Fans have speculated that Remick might also be one of those mythic music makers But as hypnotic as his Irish song and jig is it doesn pierce the veil like Sammy tune

Some ain't that new. We just came here to play. However, the gold coins, the accent, and the fact that Remick knows exactly what he's looking for

suggests he is from a culture that knows of the legend. He may not just be here to feed, but rather trying to find a way back to his people, to his past

And Sammy's voice might be his ticket. And it goes even deeper

Early in the film, Remick was hunted by a band of Choctaw men. So was Remick targeting their version of Sammy

a firekeeper that has that same dangerous gift? All of this raises the real question

Could Ryan Coogler be setting up something much bigger? A prequel about Remick's origins

A sequel about those Choctaw vampire hunters? Basically, a whole trilogy hiding in plain sight

Cougar said he wrote Sinners as a finished thing, but let's be real. Doors like this don't always close
