Hailee Steinfeld, Omar Benson Miller Join Cast of Ryan Coogler’s Vampire Thriller

Two more cast members have joined the star-studded cast of Ryan Coogler‘s currently untitled vampire thriller starring Michael B. Jordan.

According to THR, Hailee Steinfeld (Hawkeye, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) is set to star opposite Michael B. Jordan in the upcoming movie in an unknown role, and according to Deadline in a recent report, Omar Benson Miller (The Last Days of Potolemy Grey) will also appear in the film as an as-of-yet disclosed character.

Both actors will join a cast that’s already brimming with stars, and includes Jordan, Delroy Lindo, Jack O’Connell, Jayme Lawson, and Wunmi Mosaku.

While nothing is known about the movie, THR did note that insiders say Mosaku may be playing Jordan’s love interest, while O’Connell will play a “racist antagonist.”

What do we know about Ryan Coogler’s new movie?

Warner Bros. officially picked up Coogler’s new movie, which does not yet have a title, in February 2024.

The film is rumored to be about vampires, with Puck reporting earlier this year that Jordan may be playing not just one, but two blood-suckers. Puck also reported the film may be set in the American South during the Jim Crow-era.

Coogler is producing via Proximity Media with Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian. Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson will executive produce with Rebecca Cho and Will Greenfield.

Coogler and Jordan have worked together on a number of movies before. Coogler made his feature film directorial debut in 2013 with Fruitvale Station, which starred Jordan. Jordan also starred in 2015’s Creed and 2018’s Black Panther, both of which were directed by Coogler, while he also briefly appeared in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Coogler additionally executive produced 2018’s Creed II and produced 2023’s Creed III.

Coogler’s next movie releases on March 7, 2025, from Warner Bros.
