Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's supernatural vampire thriller is making progress, despite the fact that plot specifics remain elusive to even the most well-sourced Hollywood trades

Rumors about the project originally arose at the end of 2023, and shortly thereafter, it was revealed that a furious bidding war had broken out between studios for the rights to the film, with Warner Bros. Discovery winning out, over Sony and Universal Pictures.

Coogler and Jordan are reportedly, extremely secretive about the project, asking bidders from WB, Sony, and Universal to visit their offices and read the script in person; they would not allow physical or digital copies to be sent out before the bid took place.

Cinema fans are undoubtedly aware that Coogler and Jordan previously partnered on Fruitvale Station, Black Panther, the first Creed pic, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Their partnership has yet to have a misfire at the box office or with critics.

Now, it has been reported, per THR,  that Delroy Lindo has joined the pic, along with Jack O'Connell. O'Connell is reportedly set to portray the villain.

It's also been reported but unconfirmed that Jordan may have a dual role in the film, playing twin brothers.

Interestingly enough, Delroy is also set to star in another vampire film as he's signed on to co-star in Marvel Studios' Blade film, which will be led by 2x-Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali.

That film has suffered numerous production delays so it's possible that Delroy may film his role in Coogler's pic first, despite the fact that he signed on to Blade quite some time ago.

Coogler also has another Marvel project in the works, an upcoming animated series titled Eyes of Wakanda. Though it will be creatively led by Todd Harris, Coogler will remain involved as an executive producer.

Filming on Coogler's vampire period piece is slated to begin this spring in New Orleans. Warner Bros. Discovery has set a March 7, 2025, release date for the film and has secured Imax screens for its release.
