Sinners Trailer Finally Reveals Bloodthirsty Vampires (Including A Terrifying Michael B. Jordan)

Sinners gets a new trailer, fully unveiling the movie’s vampires and promising a bloody ride with a dark turn from Michael B. Jordan. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the upcoming horror movie sees Jordan pulling double duty as twin brothers Elijah and Elias Smoke. Sinners, which also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O’Connell, follows Elijah and Elias as they return to their hometown for a fresh start, only to find that the place has become home to a sinister evil.

Now, Warner Bros. Pictures releases a new trailer for Sinners, finally confirming that the sinister evil in question is indeed a horde of vampires. The trailer teases that blues music may have been involved in summoning the creatures, with voice-over narration revealing that it can “pierce the veil between life and death.” As for the vampires themselves, the trailer confirms that Steinfeld’s character, Mary, is or eventually becomes a vampire, with one of Jordan’s characters also turning into one of the bloodthirsty creatures. Check out the trailer below:

What The New Trailer Means For Sinners

What’s Been Revealed About The Vampires

The first teaser for Sinners didn’t actually show any vampires, and it wasn’t clear if the hints featured in the footage were some kind of misdirection. The latest trailer, however, holds nothing back, and the inclusion of sharp, pointed teeth and glowing eyes on Sinners cast members like Steinfeld and O’Connell proves that the mythological creatures will serve as the film’s enemies. The marketing materials thus far also speak to exactly what kind of vampires will be featured in the movie.

The first teaser featured Jordan and the human characters wielding sharpened wooden sticks, and wooden stakes are one of the ways in which the creatures can be killed in vampire lore. A recent clip from the movie also revealed that the vampires in the movie must be invited inside buildings before they can enter, another element of traditional vampire lore. This also explains why Jordan and his allies seemingly take refuge inside a barn.

As for how this new trailer’s vampire reveal could affect the movie’s box office, that remains to be seen. A number of recent vampire movies, including Abigail (2023), Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023), and Renfield (2023) all underperformed, but Nosferatu (2024) was recently a hit. It’s not clear where Sinners will fall in this regard.

The estimated budget for Sinners is $90 million, meaning it could be looking at a break-even point of $180 million.

Our Take On The New Sinners Trailer

Ryan Coogler’s Latest Already Looks Like A Win

Though it would have been exciting for the vampires in Sinners to have been kept a secret, the movie’s latest trailer teases just how violent and scary Coogler’s next movie will be. Coogler is best known for directing two Black Panther movies and the first Creed, and Sinners will be a fairly major departure for the director.

From what’s been released thus far, Sinners looks to lean heavily into its genre elements while also exploring socially-relevant themes through compelling characters. The reveal that one of Jordan’s characters turns evil also makes his dual roles far more interesting. Many questions remain, but the latest Sinners trailer certainly pulls the curtain back on the movie in an exciting way.
