Filmmaker Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' has shattered records with 16 Oscar nominations, potentially making history as the first Black director to win.

Michael B. Jordan's 'Sinners' unexpectedly featured costumes originally designed for Marvel's delayed 'Blade' reboot. Producers of 'Sinners' acquired the period-appropriate wardrobe from Marvel after 'Blade' faced production challenges. Costume designer Ruth Carter's work, initially intended for the vampire hunter film, found a new purpose in the hit horror movie, with background actors donning the repurposed attire.

Jordan, with whom he has maintained a collaborative relationship throughout his career, including all directorial ventures.
