Michael B. Jordan Stars in New Horror Film “Sinners”

In an exciting dual role, Michael B. Jordan portrays twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, in the upcoming horror film “Sinners,”directed by Ryan Coogler. The film, set against the backdrop of the 1930s South, follows the brothers as they attempt to escape their troubled pasts, only to face a more sinister force upon returning to their hometown.

Behind the Scenes: Challenges of Playing Twins

During Thursday’s premiere in New York, Jordan shared insights regarding the complexities of bringing twin characters to life. He revealed to The Hollywood Reporter, “The biggest challenge was the technicality of how we shot both characters. I performed each scene multiple times, which made balancing the roles quite challenging. However, I eventually found a rhythm that made it feel second nature. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience.”
