Ryan Coogler's film 'Sinners' is not only receiving critical acclaim but also heading towards financial success for Warner Bros., setting the stage for him to explore an extended cinematic universe. Key narratives left open include Sammie's potential soul-selling, the enigmatic Choctaw vampire hunters, the backstory of Smoke and Stack, and the love story between Stack and Mary set against a 1990s backdrop. Each subplot hints at richer storytelling opportunities, offering a fascinating blend of supernatural elements and unique historical narratives that have been underrepresented in cinema.
Did Sammie sell his soul? I've written about how I think Sammie might have sold his soul. The end-credits scene shows him with no scars. That means that it takes place before the events depicted in the movie. Does he attract Remmick because he has access to another dimension? Is the scene showcasing Black music in the middle of the film a sign that he can tap into the divine because of an encounter with an otherworldly being? The next film could show us the answer.
The badest bad asses in the film are not Smoke and Stack. It's not even Remick. They are the Choctaw vampire hunters. Those dudes were polite, but they are clearly not to be f*cked with. As I said before, a film, a book, or even a Tik Tok about the Choctaw men who had Remmick running for his life is needed.
The story hinted at regarding what happened to the twins after they left Mississippi is intriguing. There have not been many stories told about the Black experience in World War One. But also, what the hell did they do to get in good with Al Capone? And what led them to conclude that Chicago is like 'Mississippi, just with bigger buildings? There is a lot of meat left on that bone.
In the mid-credits scene, Stack shows up in the flyest 1990s clothes imaginable and Mary looks like Jennifer Lopez when she was a fly girl. Their love story would be fascinating to explore. Are they still out here biting innocent necks? Are they vampire superstars now?
