Although Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler have collaborated on four successful films, their upcoming movie has the potential to do something none of their previous collaborations have. Despite the lack of intimate details regarding the upcoming collaboration, Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s next movie is slated to be a vampire story that could see the duo together in their first period piece. Not only is the collaboration exciting because it sees the two deviate from their usual subject material, but it can also reflect their range in a way not yet seen.
With Warner Bros. distributing Jordan and Coogler’s new movie, audiences familiar with both their body of work and the legendary film company can expect an engaging story filled with impressive special effects, as the company’s previous successes like The Matrix and Harry Potter franchises have already demonstrated. Additionally, Coogler is set to write and produce the new movie in addition to directing Jordan as the lead, and with previous critical and commercial successes like Creed and Black Panther, their new movie is positionedto be a first for both Coogler and Jordan.

The New Project Could Be An Oscar First For Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan
Black Panther won an Academy Award for Best Production Design.
Although Jordan and Coogler’s previous collaborations have seen both men enjoy a significant amount of critical acclaim from critics and peers, none of their movieshave seen them secure an Academy Award for Best Actor or Best Director. While awards aren’t necessarily a reflection of one’s talent or skill, the professional recognition that an Oscar brings to one’s career has the potential to grant them a significant amount of pull in the industry. Nevertheless, Black Panther did win an Oscar for Best Production Design, so both Jordan and Coogler have that distinction under their belts.

Some of Michael B. Jordan’s best movies have come by way of Coogler’s focused and compelling direction, which is one of the reasons why their upcoming movie is sure to be one of their best yet. Considering the film is set to be a historical period piece, the subjects covered will likely lend themselves to Academy Award recognition while also showcasing a different side of both men’s creativity. Seeing as how Jordan and Coogler’s collaborations have spanned the course of a decade, either or perhaps both of them winning an Oscar would be fitting for their careers.
Why Jordan & Coogler Winning An Oscar Together Would Be So Fitting
Jordan and Coogler’s first collaboration helped set the tone for the rest of their careers.
An Oscar win would serve as the perfect metaphor for their working relationship in the industry. Fruitvale Station covered heavy subjects based on a tragic true story, but despite its dark content, is ultimately a beautiful film about overcoming life’s hardships. To see Jordan and Coogler evolve from a modestly funded independent film to reigniting interest in the Rocky franchise and the Black Panther character to potentially winning an Academy Award would perfectly describe their work ethic. With Michael B. Jordan in the lead and Ryan Coogler handling new material in the director’s chair, an Oscar win is a real possibility.
