On Instagram, Arkapaw shared the wrap news and posted an image of the crew members. She wrote, “One of the best experiences of my career. Thank you as always, Mr. Coogler. And thank you to the best camera team around, Panavision, Kodak Motion Picture Film, and IMAX. Get ready for it.” See the image below.
The film is described as a period thriller centered on vampires, with Jordan portraying twins. Coogler has both written the script and will direct the movie.
Filming started in April 2024 in New Orleans with the working title “Grilled Cheese.” Some images featuring Jordan were leaked from the set, which you can check out below.
