Bidding war for the new film of the successful ‘Black Panther’ duo: instead of Marvel action there is now vampire horror

They are a real Hollywood success duo: ‘Creed’ star Michael B. Jordan appeared in front of the camera in every film by ‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler and that will probably be the case again in his latest work. Last month it was announced that the two will work together again on a project. Instead of Marvel action or boxing ring dramas, fans of the duo can apparently look forward to vampire horror this time.

The as yet unnamed project attracted so much interest from the film studios that a real bidding war for the film is said to have arisen. How According to reports, the hotly contested bloodsucker film now appears to have found a home at Warner. After a tough battle, the renowned studio managed to gain victory over other competitors.

A historical thriller with vampires?

Little is currently known about the film. The project is described as a historical thriller with vampires. The film is also said to have influences from the anime sector. Not surprising, since director and screenwriter Ryan Coogler is a big anime fan himself and repeatedly expresses his love for Japanese animation culture in his work. For example, some battles in the ‘Creed’ series were influenced by this – and a ‘Creed’ anime series is still in development.

Besides, the filming of the movie will begin soon. Presumably, the first shot could take place in New Orleans as early as April 2024. The budget is currently estimated at approximately $90 million. If the first shots are actually made this quickly, we can expect to be able to marvel at a new supply of vampires on the big screen as early as 2025. It remains to be seen what role we will see “Creed” star Michael B. Jordan play.
